The New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee and the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it jointly in 1962, based on the valley of the same name. Its namesake is Eric Marshall (1879–1963), doctor and member of the southern group of the Nimrod Expedition (1907–1909) led by the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton .
