Mount Everest
Mt. Everest is named after Sir George Everest. He was a British military engineer who served as a surveyor general of India from 1829 to 1843. During this time he surveyed the peak, and became the first person to record the location and height of the mountain, which at that time was called Peak XV. Andrew Waugh, Everest's successor as the British Surveyor General of India, decided that Peak XV should be named after George Everest. George Everest was opposed to the idea, claiming to the Royal Geographical Society in 1857 that Everest could not be written in Hindi nor pronounced by 'the native of India'. Waugh's proposed name prevailed despite his objections, and in 1865, the Royal Geographical Society officially adopted Mount Everest as the name for the highest mountain in the world. Most people in Nepal call Mt. Everest, Sagarmtha, meaning forehead in the sky. Speakers of the Tibetan language call Mt. Everest Chomolungma. The translation is "goddess, mother of the world."
