HistoryTransliteration of the name "Os(trov) Kekurnoy," or "Kekur Island," published by Sarichev (1826, map 16). Baker (1906, p. 357-358) wrote, "This word, spelled Kekoor, Kekour, Kekur, etc., is frequently found on Russian maps of Alaska and Eastern Siberia. It appears to be some native (sic) term adopted into the Russian and to mean any high isolated rock or rocky islet. Apparently it is an exact equivalent of the Spanish word "Farallon." Baker further stated that the Russian Hydrographic Dept. reported a list of words used by the promyshenniki, or fur hunters, in 1884 and "In this list occurs these two entries: Gurie (pyramid of rocks); Kekur, same as Gurie, but (more often) an isolated pillar-like rock." Petroff (in Bancroft, 1886, p. 225) wrote, "this expedition fell in with a large party of savages who had taken up a position on a Kekour, or detached cliff, near the shore, surrounded by water * * *. Such places, to which the Russians applied the Kamchatka name of Kekour, were often used by
