Hi! I noticed that some names in the Polynesian section lack definitions and some are incorrect. How can that be corrected?

---

For instance
- Ahorangi means "shining sky" in Māori from aho "light" and rangi "sky"
- Apirana is the Māori translation of Abidan from the Māori bible.
- Ariki means chief, it's also a Cook Island name.
- Atawhai means kindness.

---

Corrections
- Saia is not a Māori name, there is no s in Māori
- Ma'ata is the Hawaiian spelling not Māori.
- Hawaiian name Hū'eu is written with a macron not a circumflex.
- Terangimaria should be Te Rangimārie, it means "the peace". Terangimaria is not the original spelling.
- Te Koha has a different name as other form. Tekoa/Te Koa doesn't have the same meaning as Te Koha. Te Koa means "the happy one" while Te Koha means "the gift".

I saw that better_nit_bitter changed some names starting with Te- attached to the name, to "Te" not attached. Instead of Tekaha to Te Kaha, that's good but there are still some that haven't been changed. Terangimarie, Tewakepare, and Tekoha.

---

Although there are some people that do write their name with Te- attached to their name. See Teānau, Teariki, Temuera and Temāia.

And other names that need definitions/correcting.

Also when I wanted to add a Māori name with a space but it says spaces aren't allowed.

Thank you!
