Named in association with the adjacent CPA Hāwea Conservation Park, River, Flat, Locality and Island. Proposed by the Board in 2009. Hāwea is derived from the tupuna Hāwea-i-te-raki, whose name was applied by his descendants to the Waitaha hapu of Ngāti Hāwea. Waitaha are part of the Ngāi Tahu whanui. Lake Hawea is referred to in the whakatauki saying “Ngā Puna Wai Karikari o Rakaihautu”, in which the rangatira Rakaihautu is said to have dug the lake with his kō (digging stick).
