After the island was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in January 1954, this peak was named 'Cross Hill' from the large wooden cross, probably erected by whalers, near the summit.[1][2]

A name attributed by a 1952 Argentine chart is Monte de la Laguna,[3] meaning 'mountain of the lake', in association with the nearby Crater Lake, and it has appeared as 'Laguna Hill' in some American resources.[4]
