The name Paoro appears in John White's English translation of a
Māori story attributed by him to the Ngāti Hau tribe, as a personal name meaning 'Echo'. However in the Māori language original which White also supplies, the name Paoro does not appear - instead the word used is 'pari-kārangaranga', "echoing cliff". In the Māori story,
Mārikoriko (Twilight) is the
first woman, created by
Ārohirohi (Shimmering heat) from the heat of the sun and the echoing cliff. She married
Tiki, the first man, and gave birth to
Hine-kau-ataata (Woman floating in shadows).
