Kauri Advisors Ltd takes its name “Kauri”, from a native tree of New Zealand, which is the Māori name for Agathis australis.
The New Zealand Kauri tree belongs to a small family of related trees found in Indonesia, Australia, some South Western Pacific Islands as well as New Zealand known under the general name Kauri.
Some interesting facts is that the Kauri tree’s heritage is one of the oldest in the world and that it has changed very little in its 220-million-year-old history. Additionally, it holds the record for possessing and producing the largest wood volume of any tree and specimens have been known to be aged in the thousands of years.
The indigenous Māori people of New Zealand favoured the Kauri tree for making large canoes and the soot of burnt wood for the pigment used in traditional tattooing.
It is believed that the word ‘Kauri’ is a shortening of the Māori word ‘Rākaūri’ which translates in English to ‘black wood’, this likely relates to the dark black soot produced by burning the wood.
In Te Reo Māori (Māori language) there exists a deeper level of meaning and understanding of words, this is called “Te Reo Huna” (The hidden language). The hidden language of Rākaūri and its shortened form Kauri are:
Rā-ka-u-uri
Rā = The Sun/The divine spark
Kā = to ignite
U = to give sustenance, Papatūānuku (Mother Earth)
Uri = Offspring, relative
Therefore, the “Reo Huna” of the name/word “Rākaūri”, can be deemed to mean:
The Sun/Divine spark that ignites and gives sustenance to Mother Earth and her offspring.
The “Reo Huna” of the shortened form “Kauri” meaning:
Ignites and gives sustenance to Mother Earth and her offspring.
