Mount McKinley was named after William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, in 1896 by a prospector named William A. Dickey, who wanted to honor McKinley’s support for the gold standard during a time of economic uncertainty. The mountain is also known by its indigenous name, Denali, which means "the high one" or "the great one" in the Koyukon language. In 2015, the U.S. Department of the Interior officially restored the name Denali, recognizing its significance to Alaska Native culture.
