George Everest was not particularly excited about the idea of having Peak 15 renamed after him, as he was reportedly unaware of the designation until later in his life. Everest, a British surveyor, focused more on his work than on personal recognition. The name change occurred in the 1860s, long after he had retired, and he had mixed feelings about the honor, preferring to emphasize the importance of his team's contributions rather than his own.
