What's in a Maori name?

From The Panel, 4:20 pm on 8 April 2019

In the King Country there's a proposal to change the settlement of Benneydale's name to Mania-Ti, after one of the nearby hills. And in Taranaki some are offended about abreviating the place name to Naki. Kust what is the significance of place anmes to Maori? And is it ok to change them?
