Both the island and the point were mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62.[1][2] The point gives its name to the island, rather than the other way around. Oyayubi-misaki, meaning "thumb point," was named in association with Cape Nakayubi ("middle-finger point"), which lies immediately northward.[2] The name Oyayubi-jima (thumb island) was given by JARE in association with Oyayubi Point.[1]
