Rangi

Rangi is a masculine name of Pacific Islander origin, meaning “sky,” “heaven,” or “day.” In the story of creation, the Maori culture speaks of Rangi, the Sky Father. The tale goes that Rangi fell in love with Papa, the Earth Mother. They held on tight to each other in the darkness, refusing to let go, but were eventually forced to separate in order to let the light in and become the sky and Earth that we see every day. However, Rangi still misses his love and weeps for her, opening the heavens when it rains. Baby can take great inspiration from this meaningful story of love and perseverance every time you say their name. Rangi is also the name of a female firebender in the Avatar: The Last Airbender spin-off novel series by F.C. Yee that delves into the life of Avatar Kyoshi. This resilient and loyal character may spark some feminine usage by fans of the much-loved fantasy series.
