Mo’orea is a high island in French Polynesia, one of the Windward Islands, part of the Society Islands, 17 kilometres (11 mi) northwest of Tahiti.

The true spelling of Mo’orea is Mo’ore’a, which means “yellow lizard” in Tahitian: Mo’o = lizard ; Re’a = Yellow. An older name for the island is ‘Aimeho, sometimes spelled ‘Aimeo or ‘Eimeo (among other spellings given by early visitors before Tahitian spelling was standardized).

Early Western colonists and voyagers also referred to Mo’orea as York Island.
