The Tibetan name shi sha sbang ma means "crest above the grassy plains".The Chinese name Xīxiàbāngmǎ Fēng 希夏幫馬峰 is a phonetic rendition of the Tibetan name. In Sanskrit, the mountain is called Gosainthan, which means "place of the saint" or "Abode of God".Another interpretation, based on the spelling Shisha-Pangma, is that the name means, literally, "Sherpa Woman."
