It seems to have a number of Mongolian names: Tavanbogd Uul
means "Five Saints Peak" (I don't know where this name might come
from, or even what kind of "saints" these are). It's also called
Kujten-Uul and Nayramadlïn ("Friendship Peak", which is a reference
to its tripoint status at the junction of three once-Communist
states).
