Its name is derived from where it is located -- 當別太 (Tōbetsubuto) and 美登江 (Bitoe), and since there had been a station with the same name enunciatively, it is added with 石狩 (Ishikari), a short-lived province located in Hokkaidō. In addition, the area's names Tōbetsubuto and Bitoe are respectively from Ainu to-pet-put, meaning "estuary rises in a lake", and pon-pit-o-i, meaning "a place with a lot of gravel".
