Kuna Peak (13,002 ft.)

Named by Willard Johnson in 1883

Also Crest, Creek, Lake

"Kuna Peak was named by Willard D. Johnson, USGS, about 1883. (Farquhar: J. N. LeConte.) 'Kuna Peak ... is probably named from the Shoshonean work Kuna, usually meaning "fire" but appearing in the Mono dialect of the vicinity with the signification of "fire-wood."' (Kroeber, 45.)"
- Peter Browning, Place Names of the Sierra Nevada

"the word kuna means 'fire' in several Numic languages of eastern California, including Southern Paiute, Chemehuevi, and Kawaiisu."
- Erwin Gudde, California Place Names
