Etymology
The mountain was first seen by Captain James Cook at 7 a.m. on 21 April 1770, during his voyage of discovery along Australia's eastern coast. Cook described - "a remarkable peaked hill which resembled a square dovehouse with a dome on top and for that reason I called it Pigeon House."

The Aboriginal name for the mountain is Didthul, Didhol, or Dithol which means "woman's breast" on account of the distinctive shape of the mountain.
