"In the early 1960s, the government of Nepal realized that Mount Everest had no Nepali name. This is because the mountain was not known and had no name in Nepal, i.e., in the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding areas, and began to look for a name for it. The Tibetan (Sherpa) name was not acceptable, as it went against the policy of Nepaliization of the country, so a new one, Sagarmatha, created by Baburam Acharya, was invented". "In the late 19th century, many European cartographers mistakenly believed that the native name of the mountain was Gaurishankar, which is a mountain between Kathmandu and Everes
