The feature was named ‘Barnards Peak’ on James Weddell's chart published in 1825, but the name ‘Needle Peak’ given by Discovery Investigations personnel following a 1935 survey has succeeded it in usage. The name Barnard Point has been approved for the nearby point at the southeast side of False Bay.
