I don't know the accepted meaning of Teawaoteatua, but I assume it's a running-together of Te Awa o te Atua, which could take the literal translation "The river of [the] god". When it looks like this, as it did this afternoon, "The river of god" seems fitting.

Fascinating, I have been gazing at this for a long time. Snitching it for another desktop photo, one of about a dozen of your photos.
A powerful meditation ... it lends credence, I think, to your assumption of the meaning of the river's name.
Zhoen, I'm honoured :^)
Barbara, I know of few things more compelling than the sight and sound of moving water, particularly in streams like this, or as surf on a wild coast. Thanks :^)
