Meaning and history
Anahera is a Māori feminine name meaning “angel.” It is a Māori adaptation of the English word angel, reshaped to fit te reo Māori sound patterns. The underlying religious concept comes from Greek angelos, “messenger,” through Christian missionary vocabulary, but Anahera has an established Māori linguistic identity. Notable bearers include Māori poet and essayist Anahera Gildea and New Zealand rugby player Anahera Tamati. The name should retain Māori pronunciation and cultural context.
