The lake is believed to be named after a place called Morris Village, a nearby residential treatment center for people with substance dependence.[3] Its owner, the South Carolina Department of Mental Health, uses the name "the pond at Morris Village", sometimes "Morris Village Pond" or simply the "Village Lake". Because of its location, it is fenced and not open to the public.[4]
