What Does the Name Tearii Mean?
Tearii is a Tahitian name meaning "the chief" or "the noble." It joins the Tahitian definite article te ("the") with ariʻi, the word for a chief or noble. In fuller Tahitian spelling the name is often written Te Ariʻi, with the glottal stop marked inside ariʻi. The literal sense is "the chief," and the word also served as a general title of chiefly rank. The form Tearii is a simplified spelling that leaves the glottal stop unmarked.
Tearii Name History & Origins
Tearii comes from Tahitian, an Eastern Polynesian language spoken in the Society Islands, where Tahiti is located. The word ariʻi named the hereditary chiefly and noble class of traditional Tahitian society, a rank that carried political and religious authority. That title remained central to Tahitian politics into the nineteenth century, when the Pomare family ruled Tahiti as ariʻi. Names formed from the article te plus a noun are common in Tahitian, and Te Ariʻi follows this pattern. The name is used as a given name in French Polynesia today, generally in the simplified spelling Tearii.
