What is the name of Moana's island village?

Moana's island village is called Motunui.

Motunui is the Polynesian island community where Moana grows up as the daughter of Chief Tui. The village depends on fishing, farming, and life within the island's reef. When crops begin to fail and the fish supply shrinks, Moana realizes that Motunui is facing a crisis linked to the loss of Te Fiti's heart.

Her grandmother Tala reveals that Motunui's ancestors were skilled voyagers who explored the ocean, but the people stopped sailing beyond the reef after Maui stole the heart. Moana's journey restores both Te Fiti and Motunui's connection with its seafaring past. At the end of the film, she becomes a wayfinder and leads her people back onto the ocean.

Motunui is fictional in the film, so it should not be confused with a real settlement of the same name in New Zealand. Hawai'i is a real island and U.S. state, Maui is the demigod's name and also a real Hawaiian island, and Te Fiti is the life-giving goddess Moana seeks to heal.
