The preferred common name Karijini Wattle (also spelt Garijini) is from the Banyjima indigenous language and refers to the Hamersley Range (Wangka Maya [in Kurrama Wordlist and Sketch Grammar p. 193] 2001). The name Karijini is also currently used for Western Australia's second large national park, Karijini National Park, which was formerly known as Hamersley Range National Park."
