The name "wallaroo" does not mean anything in Latin, because it is not derived from Latin. The name was created by mixing parts of the words kangaroo and wallaby. The wallaroo is a member of the kangaroo family, in between the size of the wallaby and the Red Kangaroo and Grey Kangaroo.

The name of the town of Wallaroo in South Australia is actually derived from the word wadla-waru in the local aboriginal dialect, and it means "wallaby urine". Walla Waroo was the name of an early sheep station owned by Walter Watson Hughes. Apparently the name was shortened because it was too long to stencil on wool bales.
