In 1847, it was renamed as “Peak B”, suspecting that it might be the highest mountain in the world. At that time Mount Kangchenjunga was considered to be the highest mountain in the world. Few years later this new mountain was confirmed to be the highest in the world and it was renamed from “Peak B” to “Peak XV” and in 1856, the British announced height of “Peak XV” to be 29,002 ft. (8,839.8 m). Again it was renamed from “Peak XV” as “Mont Everest”. In 1865, based on the recommendation of Andrew Waugh (the British Surveyor General of India), The Royal Geographic Society officially named it as the “Mount Everest”. Sir George Everest was Waugh’s predecessor in the post of Surveyor General and Sir George Everest didn’t want the peak named after him. Instead he believed that it would be more important to use local name but local name were claimed by Waugh to be unknown or unconfirmed at the time.
