Adopted 15 December 1976 on 92B-C, as suggested by Parks Branch. Named in association with Tsusiat River and Tsusiat Falls, as required by Parks Branch for communications purposes on the West Coast Trail (see 1971 trail development plans in Parks Branch files). A sea arch at the point has become known as Hole in the Wall.

According to BC historians Helen and Philip Akrigg, Tsusiat is a Ditidaht First Nation word meaning “water pouring down” – ie, a waterfall. The Tsusiat River pours over a wide ledge directly onto the beach and into the ocean, making spectacular Tsusiat Falls one of the most photographed and popular campsites on the West Coast Trail. Tsusiat Lake takes its name from the river and falls. A Dramatic sea arch at Tsusiat Pint, called Hole in the Wall, have given this nearby feature an alternative local name: Hole Point.
