The word cajilon is the term for "deer antler" in Northern New Mexican Spanish.[4] The mountain was so named because of its resemblance to an antler.[4] The mountain gave its name to the nearby creek (Canjilon Creek), to the nearby lakes (Canjilon lakes), and to the village of Canjilon.[4]
Canjilón Mountain was the site of a 3.7 magnitude earthquake on June 4, 2008.[5]
