Origin Notes and History:
"Naghatalhchuẑ" is the Tŝilhqot’in name for this lake and may roughly translate to 'a tide on the lake' referring to big seasonal changes in water volume. The name is a proper noun and refers both to the lake and the wider locality in general. Sometimes pronounced "Naghatilhchuẑ" (Advice from Tŝilhqot’in National Government, 2018).

The origin of the name 'Choelquoit Lake' is likely an anglicization of "Ch’eẑqud" (pronounced 'chull-cut'), for the small creek joining "ʔEdi Biny" and "Naghatalhchuẑ" (Advice from Tŝilhqot’in National Government, 2018).
