Talking with rangers (many who are now friends), the problem is many different tribes had access to the mountain before the white man came, and they all used different names as you might expect that were appropriate for their own language. So there isn't one common pre-white man name for the mountain.

I don't really care too much about the name, I love being close enough to get there and enjoy it frequently on the weekdays without too many people! I do volunteer trail work once a month in the summer on the weekend, looking forward to the end of the pandemic to get back to that activity.
