Three peaks; white mountain
The name is derived from Mount Shasta in California, which likely comes from the Shastan people who lived in the region. In the Karuk language, the mountain is referred to as 'Sasti,' though the exact etymology remains debated among linguists. It gained literary recognition through C.S. Lewis's Narnia series, though used there for a male character.
