It had been called Greenwood the Great until around the year 1050 in the Second Age of the Years of the Sun, when a shadow of the dark lord Sauron fell upon it, and men began to call it Mirkwood, or Taur-nu-Fuin and Taur-e-Ndaedelos in the Sindarin tongue.
Sauron established himself at the hill-fortress of Dol Guldur on Amon Lanc, and drove Thranduil and his people ever northward, so that by the end of the Third Age they were a diminished and wary people, who had entrenched themselves beyond the Mountains of Mirkwood (Emyn Fuin, formerly the Emyn Duir or "Dark Mountains").
The Old Forest Road or Old Dwarf Road crossed the forest east to west, but due to its relative proximity to Dol Guldur, the road was mostly unusable.

Himling was the earlier form of Himring (the great hill on which Maedhros son of Feanor had his fortress in The Silmarillion), and though the fact is nowhere referred to it is clear that Himring's top rose above the waters that covered drowned Beleriand.
Some way to the west of it was a larger island named Tol Fuin, which must be the highest part of Taur-nu-Fuin.
In general, but not in all cases, I hav e preferred the Sindarin name (if known), but I have usually given the translated name as well when that is much used.

 The Encyclopedia of Arda FAQ: Where in Middle-earth was
For example, The Silmarillion states that the Stone of the Hapless, the memorial to Morwen, Túrin and Nienor, survived to become an island, The location of that island - Tol Morwen - is shown on the map above.
In his introduction to Unfinished Tales, Christopher Tolkien also notes the existence of a larger island, Tol Fuin, the remnant of the earlier highlands of Taur-nu-Fuin.
These islands survived the cataclysm at the end of the First Age, but another, the Isle of Meneltarma, had a much later origin - it was the peak of the Meneltarma, the central mountain that was the only part of Númenor to survive its Downfall in the late Second Age.
