Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Courtney J. Skinner, geological assistant and camp manager with the Ohio State University expedition to the Horlick Mountains in 1961-62. Skinner visited Antarctica with United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) every summer season from 1961-62 to 1966-67.
