Ari'imate (c. 1824 – 14 April 1874), also known by the dynastic name Teurura'i, served as sovereign of the Kingdom of Huahine and Mai'ao from 5 January 1852 until his deposition on 8 July 1868. He was the founding figure of the Polynesian royal lineage known as the House of Teurura'i, which maintained authority over Huahine and Mai'ao throughout the 19th century. His name, as rendered in Tahitian, embodies a dual semantic resonance, interpreted respectively as "sovereign-demised" and "the-sky-forest", reflecting both political legacy and cultural symbolism.
