Tuteao Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
Tuteao is an uncommon Māori name, and my generation is the fifth to bear it. I do not know of any other families with this name, other than our extended family.
When broken down, Tū te ao, can be interpreted as 'the world stands', or 'the cloud stands'. It can be interpreted further as, 'day has risen', such as in the phrase, "tū te ao, tū te pō", that means, come what may, day turns to night, and night to day.
Tuteao, as I explain above, is not a common name. The family is the part of the Ngāti Mahuta tribe that is based across Kāwhia Harbour and southward to the lakes of Tahaaroa on the West Coast of the North Island.
There is a marae (village) in the Bay of Plenty, on the East Coast of the North Island named Tuteao Marae. I cannot say with certainty whether or not it is named after an ancestor of that region.
