Il y a lieu de distinguer entre l'objet de désignation, les «parc et monument commémoratifs de Terre-Neuve à Beaumont-Hamel»(depuis 1999), auparavant les «parc et monument commémoratifs à Beaumont-Hamel»(à compter de 1996)(sont désignés historiques le champ de bataille devenu parc commémoratif, et le monument commémoratif qui y est érigé), et l'entité administrative, le «lieu historique national du Canada des Parc-et-Monument-Commémoratifs-de-Terre-Neuve-à-Beaumont-Hamel», souvent appelé «lieu historique national du Canada à/de Beaumont-Hamel».
