The name Black Head doesn't refer to the colour of the rock on this prominent and scenic rocky headland here on the NSW Mid North Coast. 
Rather it refers to Black Head, Antrim, just north of Carrickfergus, the Irish birthplace of the first white settler William Hoy who moved to Black Head NSW around 1881.
As far as I know its not known what the aboriginal name for the headland was however it almost certainly had a name which would probably date back tens of thousands of years.
Interestingly the Irish 'Blackhead' has the words black and head joined as was the case here on the NSW Mid North Coast until some years ago when someone, presumably at local government level, took a decision to separate the two words on signage and maps now published of the area.
I'm now not convinced this was a correct decision and believe the correct way of expressing the area's name should be Blackhead, with both words joined.
