The lake was first named by the settlers of Hubbard county as "Elbow Lake" for its sharply bent outlines.[2] Its name in Ojibwe is Gaa-aachaajigwaatigweyaag zaaga'igan[3] meaning "the lake into which the river pitches and ceases to flow,—dies there" due to it has no visible outlet.[4] The first written record of the name, Belle Taine, is found in the survey notes made by Mahlon Black, deputy surveyor, who surveyed Nevis Township in the fall of 1870.[5]
