The name Geelong has a variety of possible meanings. It is generally believed that the name comes from the Wathaurong aboriginal word jillong or jilong, which has been variously translated as meaning any of the following:

  • a place of the sea bird over the white cliffs
  • place of native companions
  • place of the cliff
  • curlew
  • swamp where native companions live
  • swamps where brolgas live
