Originally called Abernethy (Scottish Gaelic: Obar Neithich), Nethy Bridge was relabelled when the trains came this far north in the 1860s. The Great North of Scotland Railway currently had a village called Abernethy on its line better south, so relabelled this one Nethy Bridge to separate both. The placename Abernethy is still often made use of around below: Abernethy Highland Games, Abernethy Forest, Abernethy Primary School and so on. In 2011 the population of Nethy Bridge was 640.
