Akeake is the name of at least three New Zealand species of tree: ▪ Dodonaea viscosaOlearia traversiorumOlearia avicenniaefolia Akeake is a small tree. The name goes back to pre-European times when it was used in different areas of New Zealand. In post-European times it is used most frequently, but not exclusively, for Dodonaea viscosa.

But the tree name is generally thought to be derived from the phrase ake ake, which means "for ever and ever" and probably refers to the hardness of the wood. It is the heaviest of New Zealand woods, and traditionally used as hard wood for making war implements, carved walking staves, axe-handles, and weights on drill shafts.
