Its name is Māori, from piri (to cling close) and aka (bush climbers of various kinds, such as rata). The Piriaka Power Station is about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the settlement. The Piriaka springs can be found just to the south of Piriaka (beside SH4 just at it starts to climb up to a higher altitude) at 38°55′33″S 175°20′27″E / 38.92583°S 175.34083°E. These springs are well known in the local area, and also provide the main water supply for the settlement.
