The place with the longest official name in the world is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, a hill located in New Zealand. This name is in the Māori language and translates roughly to “The place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed, and swallowed mountains, known as the land-swallower, played his nose flute to his loved one.”

It’s often abbreviated to Taumata Hill for convenience!
