The Gulf of Carpentaria is named after the Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon who first charted its waters in 1606. The name "Carpentaria" is derived from the Latin name for the region of "Carpentaria," linked to the Spanish name "Carpenteria," referring to the region's rich resources. Over time, the name became associated specifically with the gulf itself, which is located in northern Australia.
