The name "The Breakwater" was probably given by Lieutenant Commander J.M. Chaplin, Royal Navy (RN), during his survey of Jason Harbor in 1929. The South Georgia Survey (SGS), 1956-57, reported that the name is misleading; the rocks are not in a continuous straight line forming a natural breakwater, but are in a group. The name was therefore altered to Breakwater Rocks by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1957.
