After George Stephen (1829-1921). Starting his working life as a draper's apprentice in Aberdeen, Scotland, Stephen became a buyer for a kinsman operating a drapery business in Montreal. Taking over this firm in 1860, Stephen prospered because of his canny business sense. In 1876 he became president of the Bank of Montreal and in 1881 president of the CPR. Becoming a peer in 1891, he took his title from this mountain, which earlier had been named after him, and became Lord Mount Stephen.

Stoney Indian word for 'ten.' The mountain is suitably named, for it is the tenth peak in the Valley of the Ten Peaks.
