History of Kudobin Islands

Named "Khudobin Island" in 1882 by W. H. Dall, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), for Andrew Khudobin, one of Captain F. P. Lutke's naval officers in 1828. Khudobin surveyed and named the group "Ile aux Loups" or "Wolf Island," according to Lutke. Lutke (1836, p. 263) called the feature "Khoudobine."
