Best Answer

Two different name origins exist: the Native American Name of "Ujakushatsch" meaning "fortified place" or from the Russian name of "Sopka Redutskaya" which also meana a "fortified place" or redoubt. The Board on Geographic Names gave the Volcano its name in 1891 but does not cite the name origin.
