The New Zealand Government have released their domain name registrations in govt.nz in their web tool kit which makes analysing more efficient and able to report more widely on all Māori words including place names.

The following list is from April 20 2017. Names in bold are non place names and non common Māori words in the New Zealand English vocabulary.
