What do people in Nepal call Mount Everest?

Answer 1

Mount Everest effectively straddles Nepal and Tibet. As regards local names, those in Nepal call it Sagarmatha, while those in Tibet call it Chomolungma or Qomolangma. The Chinese, who have claimed Tibet, call it Zhumulangma. The Nepalese name means something akin to Mother Goddess of the Earth. A link can be found below for more information.

Answer 2

Chomolungma
In 1856, the mountain was "discovered" by the British, who named it after the person who had "gained a reputation as the most ill-tempered sahib in India". Of course, the Tibetans and Sherpas had known it was there all along, and called it Chomolungma. Later, the Nepalese invented the name Sagarmatha (brow of the sky) to remind everyone that they owned half the mountain. I'll follow the Tibetans.

The meaning of "Chomolungma" seems to be lost in time (it doesn't mean Goddess Mother of the Universe/Earth/World/Snows/whatever). Tenzing Norgay's mother (a Tibetan) once translated it as "the mountain so high that no bird can fly over it". When asked what it means, a Tibetan nomad answered:
"Hen."
"Hen?"
"Yeah, but a big hen, with all its feathers puffed out. So it looks fat."
"Big fat hen?"
"Yes, big fat hen."
