  • 丁 (cho) - a Japanese unit of measure that equals 109 meters.
  • 丁 (Jeong) - one of the twenty-four compass directions. Jeong is fifteen degrees west of due south.

  • 于山島 (Usando) - was the old name for Ulleungdo's neighboring island of Jukdo (竹島), which is 2.2 kilometers off Ulleungdo's east shore. Many Koreans claim that it was the old name for "Dokdo" (Liancourt Rocks), a small group of rocky islets in the Sea of Japan, but there are no Korean maps or documents to support that claim.

  • 大谷甚吉 (Jinkichi Oya) - a Japanese merchant who lived in the castle town of Yonago (米子) in the Houki province (伯耆国) of Japan in the 1600s. In 1618, Jinkichi Oya and Ichibei Murakawa (村川市兵衛) asked the Shogunate for permission to sail to Takeshima (Ulleungdo). After receiving permission, the Oya and Murakawa families alternated sailing to Ulleungdo each year until the Shogun determined that the island was Korean territory in 1696 and put it off limits. The inscription on Jinkichi Oya's Buddhist memorial tablet reads, "Laid the foundation for travel to Takeshima."

A 1711 Korean map of Ulleungdo, called Ulleungdo-Dohyeong (鬱陵島圖形), showed Ulleungdo with a neighboring island called Usando (于山島). The island was labeled with the characters "所謂于山島 - 海長竹田," which means "the so-called Usando - fields of haejang bamboo." Haejangjuk is normally written as 海藏竹.
