From this video [1] "[horonuku] is a bespoke name created specifically for this purpose of what your new land yacht is all about. "horo" means speed, it means to move swiftly, and nuku, has a double meaning, means movement again but it also means the Earth".

The video is well worth a watch because it gives insight into the origin of the words and the deeper cultural meaning of them to the tangata whenua (indigenous people) of New Zealand.
