Fothergill Street was named after Edward Henry Fothergill, Mayor of Fremantle for a year from 1909. His father was Edward Henry Fothergill, who owned the Cleopatra Hotel, and some sources conflate the two men.
It was originally called John Street, and was to continue as Broome Street but that eastern end is now Stack Street. It is not on record for which John the street was first named.
