“On the recommendation of the City Surveyor the Committee approved of the naming of streets as follows - Off Cliftonville Road at east side of Oldpark Presbyterian Church - Wyndham Drive... .” (Minutes, Improvement Committee, 13th October 1964).
It is likely Wyndham Street was named after the politician George Wyndham who in November 1900 became chief secretary for Ireland. Even after leaving Ithe post, he kept a keen interest in Irish affairs. Wyndham Drive was named for its proximity to Wyndham Street.
