Hawaiian Name Meaning - silver fern
Origin - Hawaii
I like our Polynesian relations whakapapa to my name Ngaire, 3 years ago when I googled my name the origin of my name came from Greek mythology.
I feel women who are named this are very beautiful, radiant beings.

I have had this name for almost 57 years now, my mother was a New Zealander, it is NOT pronounced with EEE at the end it sounds similar to the word 'diary'. I was told it meant 'daughter of the moon' it is also the name of a small moonflower in NZ. Hope this helps.

Ngaire (Nyree) means a little white flower that grows in a bog. Means that even somewhere as desolate as a bog, something beautiful can grow.

When I was born, my mother named me after her Maori nurse, which was Ngaire. She explained the name was indeed Maori and meant 'Sparkling Water'.

It does not mean sparkling water, the words for both in Maori are nothing to do with Ngaire. The most likely origin IS flaxen.
