The name, derived from the 17th letter of the Greek alphabet, appears to have been first used on a 1946 Argentine government chart following surveys of these islands by Argentine expeditions in 1942 and 1943.<ref>[https://geographic.org/geographic_names/antname.php?uni=12587&fid=antgeo_119/ Rho Islands ]</ref>
