Albert Sydney Snow in 1886 applied the name Anan to a small bay east of today's Anan Bay (the unnamed bay into which flows Canal Creek); in 1904 the present Anan Bay received the name Humpback Bay; this term was retained in the Coast Pilot through the 1960s where it states "Humpback Bay and Anan Bay are two open bights on the south shore of the Bradfield Canal"; although Humpback Bay is occasionally found on older charts, Anan Bay has now resumed its traditional designation)
