The suburb of Jandakot takes its name from Lake Jandakot, which was recorded with this name as early as 1844. It is an Aboriginal word said to mean, 'place of the whistling eagle'. During subsequent years the name was recorded variously as ;Jandicoot', 'Jandakoot' and 'Jandakott'. The lake name was changed to Forrestdale Lake in 1973. The government subdivided the Jandakot area into small farmlets in 1889.
