Originally named by the first Maoris as Te Kopuwai - either as the wet place or from Maori legend, Kopuwai - belly of water. The early surveyor's (John Thomson and Alexandra Garvie) named it Obelisk Range. Obelisk comes from the Creek word pillar and there was a large pillar located at the northern end of the range that could be seen from a long way away.
However the miners of the early 1860s would have seen the large pillar had a face of an old man and hence referred to the rock as the Old Man Rock and the mountain range south of the rock they renamed it as the Old Man Range.
By the late 1890s / early 1900s the range was officially named Old man Range though north from the Old Man Rock is still known as the Obelisk Range.
