http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senkaku_Islands
The first recorded naming of the islands dated back to the Ming Dynasty of China (14th-17th century) in books such as Voyage with the Tail Wind , Journey to Lew Chew . The Chinese Imperial Map of the Ming Dynasty also used Diaoyudao Islands.
The Chinese name for the island group (Diaoyu) and the Japanese name for the main island (Uotsuri) both literally mean "Angling".
In the 19th century, the Pinnacle Islands or Pinnacle Group was an English-language name used for the rocks adjacent to, but not including, the largest island Uotsuri Jima/Diaoyu Dao (then called Hoa-pin-su). Neither Kuba Jima/Huangwei Yu (then called Ti-a-usu) nor Taishō Jima/Chiwei Yu (then called "Raleigh Rock") were part of the Pinnacle Islands either.
However, in recent years the name "Pinnacle Islands" has come to be used to refer to the entire island group, as an English-language equivalent to "Diaoyu" or "Senkaku".
