The locality takes its name Euthulla from the railway station name, given by Queensland Railways Department on 30 November 1916, supposedly an Aboriginal word, meaning unknown.[2]
The neighbourhood Minka also takes it name from a railway station assigned by the Railways Department on 29 April 1915, and is an Aboriginal word referring to a species of tree.[7]
The neighbourhood Nullawurt also takes its name from a railway station and is an Aboriginal word for an Acacia (wattle) species of tree. It was assigned from 11 November 1915, from a suggestion from the Orallo Farmers and Settlers Association.[8]
The neighbourhood name Tineen also comes from a railway station name, assigned on 16 October 1926, being an Aboriginal word, meaning mosquito.[6]
The neighbourhood Yingerbay is again the name of a railway station assigned on 11 November 1915, and taken from a pastoral run established in 1854, from the Mandandanji language, meaning a place of freshwater crayfish (yabbie).[9]
