The name Noarlunga is an English adaptation of the native Kaurna word Nurlongga, meaning 'at the curvature', referring to the horseshoe bend near the mouth of the Onkaparinga River.[8]
Sharing the name Noarlunga are the two adjacent seaside suburbs Port Noarlunga and Port Noarlunga South and the historic township of Old Noarlunga that is located on the Onkaparinga River.
Port Noarlunga was the original town centre prior to Noarlunga Centre being constructed.
Noarlunga English adaptation of the kaurna name has also been spelt as Nglungga.
