The current name derives from the pinyin romanization of the Chinese name of the range's highest peak, Xueshan. The same name is sometimes written Hsüeh-shan or calqued as the Snow or Snowy Mountain Range. Under the Qing, the range was also known variously as the Middle, Western, Dodds,[1] or Mt Sylvia Range.[2]
