Name gifted by Ngāti Whatua Ōrākei and endorsed by the CRL Mana Whenua Forum Komiti in Te Reo Māori can be translated into English as ‘to mix’ or ‘to merge’ The name reflects that the square will be a place where people can come together in formality, celebration and parade.

People will also travel through, mix and meet within the square as they move between transport modes, the harbour, Commercial Bay and mid-city The name also reflects that the square is a place where the waters of Waitematā and Wai Horotiu had merged
