The lakes were named by local pioneer, Nugent Wade Brown, in 1894.[3] There are various theories as to the origin of the name.
- One is that Coalstoun is the corruption of an Aboriginal word Goanalganai.[4][5]
- Another theory is that the name 'Coalstoun' is a corruption of the word 'Colstoun'. Nugent Wade Brown's father, John Brown (1787–1860), emigrated to the Colony of New South Wales and established a property named Colstoun near what is now Gresford in the Hunter Valley in 1838.[6]
- Colstoun was the ancestral home of the Brown family in Scotland. Colstoun is located south of Edinburgh and remains in the Brown family.[7] According to Queensland Department of National Parks, Sport and Racing "The lakes were named after Coalstoun in Scotland by Wade Brun, manager of nearby Ban Ban Station."[8] There is no doubt that Nugent Wade Brown and Wade Brun were the same person.[9] His wife, Margaret Campbell-Antill, was an aunt of Major-General John Macquarie Antill Шаблон:Post-nominals.[10]
