Abstract
Maitpangga is the Aboriginal name for part of the main valley of the Myponga River. It is almost certainly in Kaurna language, using the common Locative ngga (‘at, place of’); but there is no other known meaning, since no maitpa was recorded in any of the local languages. In any case, a placename need not have a dictionary meaning.
