What Does the Name Vaitea Mean?

Vaitea is a Tahitian name usually translated as "clear water" or "white water." It is formed from vai, the Tahitian word for water, and tea, which means white, light-colored, or clear. Because tea can cover both brightness and clarity, English renderings vary between "clear water" and "white water." This is a literal nature-derived meaning rather than a later symbolic interpretation.
