Ōtautahi Logo

In April 2023, the city of Christchurch, whose name by New Zealand's native Māori people is Ōtautahi, released its new logo.

Ōtautahi - What does it mean?

The Māori name Ōtautahi, meaning 'the place of Tautahi', was adopted in the 1930s. Ōtautahi was the name of a specific site by the Avon River / Ōtākaro (near the present-day fire-station on Kilmore Street).
