ニュージーランドのアーダーン首相（３７）が出産から３日後の２４日、オークランドの病院を退院した。退院時に娘を抱いて記者会見に臨み、「ニーブ・テアロハ」と名付けたと明らかにした。「ニーブ」は「輝かしい」や「雪」を表すアイルランド系の名前で、「テアロハ」は、ニュージーランドの先住民マオリの言葉で「愛」の意味だという。
６週間の産休を終えて公務に復帰した後は、パートナーでテレビ番組司会者のクラーク・ゲイフォードさんが主に育児を担う。アーダーン氏は「クラークの存在は、私と同様にロールモデルでもある。小さな子どもたちが、家族をどう養うかを選択できる未来があることを願っている」と語った。（シドニー＝小暮哲夫）

Te Arohaとは山の名前でもある。
The New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, and her partner Clarke Gayford have announced the name of their newborn daughter: Neve Te Aroha Ardern Gayford.Neve, derived from the the Irish name Niamh, means “bright” or “radiant” and Te Aroha means “love” in te reo Māori.
She said she and Gayford had struggled “for months” over the name, but the right one became clear once the baby was born.
“Probably like everyone, we went through that struggle where we kept this shortlist of names and we wanted to wait until the baby arrived to really see which one felt like it worked.
“But we chose Neve because we just liked it, and when we met her we thought she looked like she suited the name.”
Ardern said the name Te Aroha was chosen as a reflection of the support she’d received from New Zealanders during her pregnancy, especially the Māori community.
“I thought how do I reflect the generosity, particularly of all the iwi who gifted us names – and Te Aroha seemed to be a way,” she said.
“Te Aroha was something we settled on quite early. It was our way of reflecting the amount of love this baby’s been shown before she even arrived.
It’s also a tribute to Te Aroha mountain, on New Zealand’s North Island, near Ardern’s hometown of Hamilton.
“It’s the place where all my family are from,” she said. “I grew up under that mountain.”
