Etymology
Everest was given as the English name in the 1800s after Sir George Everest, a British mapmaker, and local names like Chomolungma ('Mother of the World') in Tibetan and Sagarmatha ('Goddess of the Sky') in Nepali show why it is the world's highest mountain. A helpful way to remember the English name is to think of ever as 'always', so Everest points to the peak that is 'always' the tallest.
