Musqueam First Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation both expressed a preference that the peak have a hənqəminəm language name, in response to a request for comment on the naming proposal. Tsleil-Waututh Nation suggested the hənqəminəm name "cewəyələm" be given to Tim Jones Peak; meaning 'to help a child; to help the people.'
