History
Local name reported in 1933 by Gerald FitzGerald, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), derived from the name "Z(aliv) Makhnashka" (from Monakhinya), meaning "Nun Bay," published by Captain Tebenkov (1852, map 23). This feature was called "Zaliv Chernysheva" (from Chernichie) meaning "Sycamore Bay," by Murashev in 1839 or 1840. U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) called it "Devils Bay" in 1881 and later in 1910, "Sycamore Bay."
