The river was named Mooni by explorer and surveyor Thomas Mitchell on 9 November 1846 but the origins of the name are unknown.
In New South Wales, the river is officially known as Mooni River, but common usage uses the same spelling as in Queensland where most of the river is located.
The sign erected by Walgett Shire Council at Gundablouie Bridge on Gundabloui Road also uses the common spelling Moonie River.
