Awana takes its name from the large pa on the headland overlooking Awana stream mouth. This pa was known as 'Te Pa a Wana' or the pa of Wana. This chief, Te Wana, was a famous Harataonga ancestor of Ngati Tai who lived in this area until the 17th century.

Harataonga literally means 'to violate the tapu of a sacred object' and the ancient name was brought from the Pacific homeland of 'Hawaiki'.
