Limpy Creek was named for a local Native American who walked with a limp.[3] Oregon Geographic Names says that Limpy Creek, Limpy Prairie, and other natural features in the area are all named for the same man, who lived along the Little River,[4] another tributary of the North Umpqua River.

There is another Limpy Creek, which is a tributary of the Rogue River, in Josephine County, Oregon.
