Etymology

Demavend is the English form of a Persian mountain name, and one idea is that the ending -vand means 'place of' while the first part may point to 'snow' or the mountain itself. A helpful way to remember Demavend is to think of it as 'the snowy place' or 'the great mountain', which fits its role as Iran's highest, snow-capped volcano.
