At the time of Lauge Koch's 1949–51 expeditions this summit was named after Margareta Hediger by American geologist John Haller,[1] a Fellow of the Geological Society of America.[3]
The peak is marked as "Margaretatopp"[4] and "Margarita Spids" in some maps.[1] Margaretasø is a small lake in neighboring Rendal at 73°25.5′N 26°39.0′W where the reflection of the mountain can be seen on its surface. This lake was named by John Haller after the same person.[1]
