A second view argues for the sense of "seacoast people"; one source in support of this cites a word variously given as ''waatu'' or ''waatern'' with the meaning "the ocean". A third hypothesis has it that the name is derived from the word for "no". Country Wadandi traditional country covers an estimated . Predominantly coastal, it encompasses Busselton and the areas from Bunbury to Cape Leeuwin and Geographe Bay. Inland it reaches the area around Nannup.
