Everest is the name of the General Surveyor in India in 1830 – 1843 (Sir George Everest, 1790-1866). His successor A.S. Waugh suggested that the peak XV had his name.
The nepali local name of Mount Everest is Sagarmatha, meaning “Forehead in the sky”. And the Tibetan name Chomolungma meaning “the mother goddess of the earth”. Even though there are many other names and meanings given to the sacred mountain depending on different cultural regions and different local pronunciations.
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity…”
John Muir (“John of the Mountains”. naturalist and preservationist. 1838 – 1914)
