Advice Needed: Arahina vs. Arahia Baby name
Kia Ora! My husband and I are expecting our first baby girl and need some help. We are both Maori but I grew up in the US and know very little Te Reo. And husband is mixed maori/tongan. We have come across the name Arahina and love it but also heard that Arahia is more common to be used for a name. We like the translation of "To Lead/to guide" since she will be the eldest daughter and granddaughter on my husbands side. We also are thinking about adding a middle name for her name to translate to "To lead with love" or "lead with faith". So would the accurate way be Pono-Arahina ? Or Arahina Te Pono (to lead with faith) or Arahina Te Aroha (to lead with love). Should it be Arahia instead? And should faith/ love come before Arahia? Sorry, lots of questions but wanted to make sure it's correct grammar. We have relatives that are fluent in Te Reo that we will ask as well but thought I'd ask this subreddit too
Thank you♡
