The tidal lagoon is known in Māori as Waiputai.〔''(Place names )'' on Kāti Huirapa Runaka ki Puketeraki website, viewed 2012-01-04〕 "Blueskin Bay" historically referred to a wider stretch of coast from Heyward Point to Seacliff, including Pūrākaunui.〔Ian Church ''Blueskin days'', Waitati 2007〕 The name ''Blueskin'' is after Kahuti, a resident Maori personality of the area, whom Pakeha settlers nicknamed "Blueskin" for the large amount of Tā moko (traditional Maori tattooing) on his body. The name had been used as the nickname of a notorious 18th century London criminal, Joseph "Blueskin" Blake.〔
