Name
The Bastien Range was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Thomas W. Bastien, geologist, leader of the helicopter-supported University of Minnesota Geological Party to these mountains in 1963–64. Bastien was also a member of a party to the Ellsworth Mountains in 1961–62.

O'Neal Nunataks
A small, linear group of nunataks that mark the south end of Bastien Range. They were named by the University of Minnesota geological parties to the Ellsworth Mountains for Jerry O'Neill, aerographer with these parties in 1963-64 and 1964-65.
Camp Hills
A small group of hills which lie between the south portion of the Bastien Range and the Minnesota Glacier. So named by the University of Minnesota Geological Party, 1963-64, because they established their base camp (Camp Gould) near these hills.
