固有名詞

Denali

1. The highest mountain peak in North America (the third most prominent peak after Mount Everest and Aconcagua), located in central Alaska.
   • 1902, Dodd, Mead and Company, New International Encyclopedia:

     Mount McKinley was known to Russians as Bulshaia and to the natives of Cook Inlet as Traleyka. Both names signify 'high' or 'big mountain.' The natives of the interior know it as Denali.

使用する際の注意点

During Russian ownership of Alaska, the name of the mountain was Больша́я Гора́ (Bolʹšája Gorá, “big mountain”), the literal translation of Denali. It was briefly called Densmore's Mountain in the late 1880s and early 1890s after Frank Densmore, first European to reach its base. In 1896, gold prospector W. A Dickey named it McKinley after then-presidential candidate William McKinley, writing "that fact [McKinley's nomination] was the first news we received on our way out of that wonderful wilderness"; the United States formalized the name Mount McKinley in 1917, but many Alaskans continued to call it Denali, the Alaskan board on geographic names made Denali official for state use in 1975, and President Obama restored that name in August 2015. Obama's action was rolled back by President Trump by virtue of Executive Order 14172 in January 2025.
