Shakespeare once asked, “What’s in a name? Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?” And in the case of Denali, would a mountain by another name be as magnificent?
One of President Donald Trump’s first executive actions upon reentering the White House was to reestablish its most famous mountain as McKinley’s namesake.
President Trump has ordered the name of North America's tallest peak to revert from Denali to its former name: Mount McKinley. We want to hear from you: What should Alaska's highest mountain be named and why does it matter to you? Or maybe it doesn't matter to you. We'd still like to hear your thoughts on the subject.
Google on Monday said its maps will use names for Denali and the Gulf of Mexico favored by President Donald Trump — Mount McKinley and Gulf of America — when federal maps make the switch.
President Donald Trump wants to rename Denali and the Gulf of Mexico to Mount McKinley and Gulf of America, and Google said it would update its maps if it happens.
Google said Monday its maps will use names for Denali and the Gulf of Mexico favored by President Donald Trump — Mount McKinley and Gulf of America — when federal maps make the switch.
Google will rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and restore Denali in Alaska, the highest peak in North America, to its previous name, Mount McKinley.

A common sentiment in Alaska is that while President Donald Trump has ordered the name of North America’s tallest peak to be changed from Denali to McKinley, Alaskans will call it what they want. And popular consensus seems to favor Denali.
Step aside "Gulf of America," this famous mountain peak, the tallest in North America, may also revert to its former name - but not without controversy.
