Named in 1921 by R. F. Griggs, National Geographic Society. Both Lakes Coville and Grosvenor were called "Savonoski Lakes" by the National Geographic Society in 1919; in 1923 both lakes were called "Alinak Lake" by the American Geographical Society, after a former native village near Lake Grosvenor's outlet. The Indian name, "Kalhvit," was reported in 1923 by R. H. Sargent, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
