The suburb takes its name from Mulgrave Castle in the English County of North Yorkshire. Sir George Phipps, the Earl of Mulgrave in the Peerage of Great Britain, served as the Governor of Victoria from 1879 to 1884.
The suburb in turn gave its name to the Mulgrave Freeway, which was later renamed to the Monash Freeway.[citation needed]
