History
Name derived from Deer i. and given by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) in 1926 as Deer Island Passage. U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) initiated the changing of this name in 1928 to Deer Passage because it "is shorter and eliminates the double descriptive designation which ellipses if objectionable."
