Ayiklutu is the traditional Tlingit name for the feature, meaning "small point of a larger point." From Dictionary of Alaska (Orth, 1967): Named "Seduction Point" by Capt. Vancouver (1798), RN, because of "the designing nature of the Indians whom Joseph Whidbey encountered here, July 16, 1794." It was called "M(ys) Seduktion," Russian translation of the name "Seduction," on Chart 1396 of the Russian Hydrographic Dept. in 1848. Captain M. D. Tebenkov, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), recorded it as "M(ys) Soblazna," meaning "Cape Seduction," in 1852. In 1867, George Davidson, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), called the point "Seduction Tongue."
