As the name "Barne Glacier" was already in use in the Ross Dependency, it was suggest by A S Helm that this feature be named in honour of Rear-Admiral E Byrd, the famous American Antarctic explorer who led several expeditions to the Dependency area. The glacier lies in both Australian and New Zealand territory.
