It is north of the mainland's Melville Peninsula, south of Baffin Island's Sikosak Bay, west of Ormonde Island, and east of Amherst Island. It was named in honour of Lt. Matthew Liddon, an officer who accompanied Sir William Edward Parry during his search for the Northwest Passage 1819–1820.[1] During that voyage, rock crystal, common iron glance, and red iron ore were discovered on the island.[2] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Taylor |first=Isaac |title=Names and Their Histories: A Handbook of Historical Geography and Topographical Nomenclature |publisher=Rivingtons |date=1898 |pages=173 |oclc=4161840 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vqgYAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA173&lpg=PA173&dq=%22liddon+island%22&source=web&ots=gFWsWFx6Pg&sig=BKqE8gsSmMMcK4UfFRryghgWrLA&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result }} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Parry |first=William Edward |title=Journal of a Third Voyage for the Discovery of a Northwest Passage, from the Atlantic to the Pacific: Performed in the Years 1824-25, in His Majesty′s Ships Hecla and Fury, Under the Orders of Captain William E.
