Cook Islands Māori is simply called Māori when there is no need to disambiguate it from New Zealand Māori, but it is also known as Māori Kūki 'Āirani (or Maori Kuki Airani), or, controversially, Rarotongan.
O maorí das Illas Cook é chamado sinxelamente māori cando non hai necesidade de diferencialo do maorí de Nova Zelandia, pero tamén é coñecido como Māori Kuki Airani, ou rarotongano.
