How Did Mount Everest Get Its Name? The highest mountain in the World, Mount Everest in Nepal was named after and in honour of Sir George Everest who was a British Surveyor General. In 1852 he found it to be the highest peak in the World during the Great Survey of India. It was originally called Mont Everest.
In September 2013, the Government of Nepal proposed naming a 7,916 metres (25,971 ft) mountain in Nepal Tenzing Peak in Norgay's honour. In July 2015, a preliminary informal name, Norgay Montes, was introduced for first discovered 11,000-foot mountain ranges on the dwarf planet Pluto.orgay was a Nepalese Buddhist; Nepalese Buddhism is the traditional religion of the Sherpas and Tibetans. His exact date of birth is unknown, but he knew it was in late May by the weather and the crops. After his ascent of Everest on 29 May 1953, he decided to celebrate his birthday on that day thereafter.
