The longest city name in the world belongs to a place in New Zealand, commonly known as Taumata. Its full name, Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, holds the Guinness World Record. This Māori name describes a hill where a famous chief, Tamatea, played his flute. The name is a poetic tribute to the history and landscape of the region. Though locals use a shortened version, this name showcases the rich cultural heritage and the beauty of the Māori language.
