History
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported the local name in 1904 as "Lowell Island," and U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) gave the local name as "Fox Island" in 1905. Because both these names "are much duplicated" the Board on Geographic Names (BGN) officially bestowed the present name in 1906; it means "fox" in French.
