Fue levantado por primera vez en 1936, por la BGLE al mando de John Rymill, quien no le dio nombre. La Expedición Antártica Chilena de 1947 lo denominó punta Yungay y así apareció en las cartas chilenas de ese año. Fue relevantado en 1948 por el FIDS, que le puso el nombre por el apellido de Maurice Bongrein, hidrógrafo y Primer Oficial del Pourquoi-Pas, nave de la Expedición Antártica Francesa de 1908-1910, quien fue el responsable del primer levantamiento en el área. Aunque el nombre chileno es más antiguo, actualmente se está usando el de cabo Bongrein.
