A cold day in Lower Hutt.

Lower Hutt is a slightly unusual name for a city. The powers that be noticed it too and often refer to it as Hutt City.


This is not very welcoming of Upper Hutt, which I assume is not included in the lower city's name.


Google Translate tells me that TE AWA KAIRANGI means 'HUTT'. Maybe Te Awa Kairangi would have been a better name?
Maybe Upper Hutt needs a new name too?
Kura Te Awa Kairangi might work.
Or Hutt Too.

    Thank you Professor Fount.
    Now where did Kuntara, north of Wellsford get its name from?
