Attikamek designated this river under the toponym "Cousapsigan". At the end of the nineteenth century, the river was sometimes called "Rivière de Jonglerie" (River of Juggling); this designation is similar to the word wizard, or the French equivalent of the word "Wabano". In 1824, the explorer and trader Francis Verreault has designated this water body "River Wizard" in his testimony to the House of Assembly of Lower Canada. [2]
The name "Wabano River" was recorded on December 5, 1968, at the Bank of place names in Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec). [3]
