Det er opkaldt efter [[Elisha Kane]], hvis eftersøgningsekspedition i sin søgen efter [[John Franklin]] krydsede det i 1854.

[...] The ''Advance'' then proceeded up the west coast of Greenland and into the sound Kane named Peabody Bay (later renamed Kane Basin) where, by the end of August, its northward progress was stopped by the ice.}}</ref>
