Before being called Mount Democrat, it was known as Republic Mountain and Mount Buckskin. The Buckskin name came from a nearby town which got its name from Joseph "Buckskin Joe" Higginbottom. After the naming of Mount Lincoln in 1861, Southerners who supported the Democratic party gave the peak its current name, and it was put on official maps in 1883.
