The genus name Hemicordulia is derived from the Greek ἡμι- (hēmi, "half"), combined with Cordulia, a genus name derived from the Greek κορδύλη (kordylē, "club" or "cudgel"). The name refers to the close relationship of the genus to Cordulia. The species name koomina refers to Koomina Pool in the Hamersley Range, Western Australia, where the original specimens were collected and reared from larvae.
