Badwater Crater is named after a town in California. Badwater, California is the lowest point in California, which is why Badwater Crater is named after it. The crater was named on April 11th, 2015.

A YouTuber named "Atlas Pro" made a video about the crater and named it Calypso, the lowest point in Greece because the highest point on Mars, Olympus Mons is named after the highest point in Greece. Atlas Pro soon figured out the crater was already discovered as "Badwater Crater".
