Westonka is a portmanteau of "west" and "Minnetonka", referring to the towns around the west third of Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota, roughly 25 miles west of Minneapolis. It is a unique placename. Several small suburbs comprise the Westonka School District and Westonka is also used in the name of the local (Mound) library and other regional organizations, institutions and businesses. Mound is the city in Westonka with the largest population and is its anchor, its downtown.

The Westonka School District was previously called the Mound School District, and its students are from Mound, Spring Park, Navarre, Orono, Minnetrista, and Shorewood.
