History

Aleut name shown as "Ahlucheyak" and "Ahluckeyak" by Elliott (1881, p. 18), meaning "rough back-bone"; as "Oolakaiya" by Joseph Stanley-Brown in 1891; and as "Ul'akiya'" by Putnam (1903, p. 1016), U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), meaning "high house" because "the old native houses had rounded roofs similar to the shape o f this hill." These three names appear to be different spellings of the same Aleut name.
