Mount Everest, known as Sagarmatha in Nepal and Chomolungma in Tibet, is named after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor general of India in the 19th century. The mountain was officially named in 1865 to honor his contributions to mapping the region. The names in local languages reflect cultural significance, with "Sagarmatha" meaning "goddess of the sky" and "Chomolungma" meaning "mother goddess of the world."
