而这个所谓“忒瓦卡雷瓦雷瓦地热谷”，其毛利语全名实际上是：忒瓦卡雷瓦雷瓦坦嘎奥忒奥佩塔乌阿瓦希奥（Te Whakarewarewatangaoteopetauaawahiao），其中，最后那个“瓦希奥”（wahiao）的意思是“部落”。 这个著名的旅游景点简称为“瓦卡”。

Known as Whaka for short, the full name is actually Te Whakarewarewatangaoteopetauaawahiao, which means “The meeting place for the war parties of Wahiao”, Wahiao being a tribe.
