[[File:Windradyne, Aust. Aboriginal warrior from the Wiradjuri.jpg|thumb|right|A Wiradjuri warrior, thought to be [[Windradyne]]{{sfn|Langton|2010|p=33}}]]
The Wiradjuri [[exonym and endonym|autonym]] is derived from {{Lang|wrh|
In his book ''Aboriginal Tribes of Australia'' (1974), [[Norman Tindale]] wrote that ''Wiradjuri'' was one of several terms coined later, after the 1890s had seen a "rash of such terms", following the publication of a work by ethnologist [[John Fraser (ethnologist)|John Fraser]]. In 1892, Fraser had published a revised and expanded edition{{sfn|Ridley|Livingstone|Günther|Broughton|1892|pp=ix–x,+}} of [[Lancelot Threlkeld]]'s 1834 work on the Awabakal language, ''[[An Australian Grammar]]'',{{sfn|Threlkeld|Fraser|Livingstone|Taplin|2008}} in which he created his own names for groupings, such as Yunggai, Wachigari and Yakkajari.{{sfn|Ridley|Livingstone|Günther|Broughton|1892|pp=ix–x, +}}
Tindale says that some of the later terms had entered the literature, although not based on fieldwork and lacking Aboriginal support, as artificial, collective names for his "Great Tribes" of New South Wales. He writes that there was such a "literary need for major groupings that [Fraser] set out to provide them for New South Wales, coining entirely artificial terms for his 'Great tribes'. These were not based on field research and lacked aboriginal support. His names such as Yunggai, Wachigari and Yakkajari can be ignored as artifacts...During the 1890s the idea spread and soon there was a rash of such terms...Some of these have entered, unfortunately, into popular literature, despite their dubious origins."{{sfn|Tindale|Jones|1974|pp=156, 191, 200}}
He lists Wiradjuri (NSW) as one of these artificial names, along with Bangarang{{efn|R. H. Mathews' spelling}} ([[Pangerang]]) (Vic.); [[Booandik]] (Vic. & SA); Barkunjee ([[Barkindji]]) (NSW), [[Kurnai]] (Vic.), Thurrawal ([[Dharawal]]) (NSW), and Malegoondeet (?) (Vic.).{{sfn|Tindale|Jones|1974|pp=156, 191, 200}}{{sfn|Tindale|1974}} He also mentions [[Robert Hamilton Mathews|R. H. Mathews]], [[Alfred William Howitt|A. W. Howitt]] and [[John Mathew]] as promulgators of the "nations" concept. However, Tindale refers to Wiradjuri in his own work (p. 200): "Wiradjuri 'Wiradjuri (Wi'raduri)".{{sfn|Tindale|Jones|1974|pp=156, 191, 200}}{{sfn|Tindale|1974}}
