"The Eiger is already mentioned in documents from the 13th century but there are no clear references to the origin of its name. The three mountains on the ridge are called, the Ogre (Eiger), the Monk (German Mönch) and the Maiden (German Jungfrau, which translates as “Virgin” or “Maiden”). "The name has been related to the Latin acer, meaning “sharp” or “pointed,” but more commonly to the German eigen, in the sense of “characteristic.” Since it is a mythical mountain in mountaineering due to the difficulty of its north face, where many mountaineers have died, the name “Ogre” is justified"
