Zec Maganasipi exist since 1978, since the abolition of exclusive hunting and fishing rights. According to the Commission of the toponym of Quebec, the name of the ZEC is essentially linked to its main hydro-graphic features.
According to Father Lemoine, this name is a derivative of Maingan Sipi which in Algonquin means "river wolves". We find the name on maps from 1906, sometimes under Maganasibi or Maganasippi form. The formalization of Maganasipi River was taken in 1916.
