Etymology

These coastal islands were surveyed by Andrew Khudobin (IRN, one of Captain Fyodor Petrovich Litke's naval officers in 1828. Khudobin named the group Ile aux Loups or Wolf Island, according to Lutke. Lutke (1836, p. 263) called the group Khoudobine. Its present name, Khudobin Island, was given in 1882 by W. H. Dall, USC&GS.[1]
