He tauira a Rangitāwhiro nō te kūra mīhana o Rangihoua ki Pēwhairangi i te takiwā o te tau 1820. Kāore anō i oti te hanga o ngā pū reta Māori, ā, tae rawa ki te takiwā o te tau 1840. Nō reira i rerekē ai te takoto mai o ētahi kupu. Titiro ki tōna ingoa, ko 'Rangitawido' kē, ā, ko te ingoa o Hokianga ko 'e'okianga' kē. E ai ki te kaituhi a Joel Polack: 'Herd in his chart, calls the Port of Hokianga, Jokeeangar, Mr. Marsden terms it Shukianga, and the Baron de Thierry in his proclamation 1837, Yokianga; the most faithful pronunciation is E'Oakianga ... it is however best known as Hokianga.'
