Though the island is offshore, the language is related and in the same [[Eastern Tasmanian languages|family]] as the [[Southeastern Tasmanian language]] which the local [[Mouheneener|Muwinina]] people spoke. Another recorded name was an [[Paredarerme language|Oyster Bay]] word ''lebralawaggena'' ([[William Bedford (chaplain)|Bedford]]).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Plomley |first1=N.J.B. |title=Tasmanian aboriginal place names |date=1992 |publisher=Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery |location=Launceston, Tas. |pages=98 |edition=Occasional paper no. 3 |url=https://www.qvmag.tas.gov.au/files/assets/qvmag/library/publications/occasional/tas-aborig-place-names.pdf |access-date=28 June 2024}}</ref>

A semi-permanent settlement at Little Sandy Bay was called ''[[Long Beach, Tasmania|kriwa]]'' beneath the hill of ''[[Mount Nelson, Tasmania|kriwalayti]]''. The dividing line of the region is the ''timtumili minanya'' (river), which winds its way down from the [[Lake St Clair (Tasmania)|centre]] of the island through the lands of the [[Aboriginal Tasmanians#Big River|Big River]] (Lemerina) people. On the eastern shore, the name for the [[Clarence Plains]] was known as ''naniyilipata'' by the Mumirimina, a group of the Oyster Bay (Poredareme) people. [[Tranmere, Tasmania|Droughty Point]] was known as ''trumanyapayna'' (kangaroo point) as it was a hunting ground, and [[South Arm, Tasmania|South Arm]] as ''mutatayna''. Later names by the [[Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre|TAC]] include ''piyura kitina'' (little [[Tasmanian nativehen|native hens]]) at [[Shag Bay|Risdon Cove]] and ''turikina truwala'' (mountain waterfall) on the Myrtle Gully Falls track.<ref>{{cite web |title=pulingina to lutruwita place names map |url=https://tacinc.com.au/pulingina-to-lutruwita-place-names-map/ |website=Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre |access-date=28 June 2024}}</ref>
