在新西兰毛利人的传说里，毛伊钓起的大鱼就是新西兰的北岛，所以北岛的毛利语名字意思是「毛伊的鱼」，南岛则被看作他出海时乘坐的独木舟。新西兰东海岸的基德纳珀斯角，毛利语名字的意思就是「毛伊的鱼钩」。

In Maori legend, the great fish Maui pulled up is the North Island of New Zealand, so its Maori name means the fish of Maui, while the South Island is seen as the canoe he sailed in. Cape Kidnappers on the east coast of New Zealand has a Maori name meaning the fish hook of Maui.

毛利人至今喜欢佩戴一种叫「黑玛陶」的鱼钩形挂坠，常用新西兰特产的绿玉或骨头雕成，象征力量、好运和出行平安。这种造型正是来自毛伊的神奇鱼钩，也是新西兰最有代表性的传统饰品之一。

Maori people still love to wear a fish hook shaped pendant called the hei matau, often carved from New Zealand greenstone or bone, as a symbol of strength, good luck and safe travel. Its shape comes from the magic hook of Maui, and it is one of the most iconic traditional ornaments of New Zealand.
