The name "Mys Kupriyanov" or "Mys Kupriyanova", for Ivan Kupriyanov, an officer of the Mirnyy, was given by Admiral Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen in 1819 to a cape on the coast between Novosilski Bay and Cape Disappointment. The name was evidently overlooked by Lieutenant Commander J.M. Chaplin, who in 1930 gave the name Johannesen Point to a feature on this same stretch of coast.
