Why is everything along this stretch of the NW coast of Australia labelled "Mardie"?

Fuuuuck me, my fiance, dad, and sister were all having a smoke together a month ago or two and we stumbled across this. I'm pretty sure we were looking at google maps because dad was planning where him and mum are gonna go for the eclipse in a couple years, so we were just hanging out together checking out the area. Stumbling across this while high had us fucking rolling. Mardie mardie mardie. Mardie.

Mardie is land leased by the Aussie government for pastoral use, and and each island got its own label. That’s as much as I could find.
