Name

The river's name, Lumbardh, literally translates to White River in Albanian. The adjective, i Prizrenit, differentiates it from the other Lumbardh tributaries of the White Drin ({{langx|sq|Drinit të Bardhë}}) in the Dukagjini area.

The name Bistrica means "clearwater" in Serbian. The adjective Prizrenska, "of Prizren", is added to distinguish it from other Bistrica rivers in the Dukagjini region: Dečani Bistrica ("of Dečani"), Peć Bistrica ("of Peć"), Kožnjar Bistrica ("of Kožnjar"), Loćane Bistrica ("of Loćane"), etc.
