It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy in 1967 and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) between 1968–71. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after William A. Etchells, a diesel mechanic and Projects Officer (engineering) with the BAS from 1962–88, who worked in the Shackleton Range between 1968–69.[1]
