A poetic name for the Pacific Ocean is ''Te moana nui a Kiwa'' (The great ocean of Kiwa).

Kiwa (crustacean)
''Kiwa'' is a genus of marine decapods living at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. The animals are commonly referred to as "yeti lobsters" or "yeti crabs", after the legendary yeti, because of their "hairy" or bristly appearance. The genus is placed in its own family, Kiwaidae, in the superfamily Chirostyloidea. Five species have been described: '' Kiwa hirsuta'' discovered in 2005 on the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge, ''Kiwa puravida'' discovered in 2006 at cold seeps in the East Pacific (all other species are from hydrothermal vents), '' Kiwa tyleri'', known colloquially as the "Hoff crab", from the East Scotia Ridge, and '' Kiwa araonae'' from the Australian-Antarctic Ridge. Two similar but undescribed species are known from vents on the South West Indian Ridge and at the Galápagos respectively.
