Maybe it came from an old bos'n named "Dutch."

He sailed along Hokkaido, several of the Kuril islands, and part of Sakhalin. This led to a considerable amount of speculative geography involving Jesso (Iesso, Yezo, Sesso, Iezo, etc), and Company Land. No Aleutians, I am afraid.

I suspect it will be of Dutch origin, if it exists. Any help would be much appreciated.
