Naming of Mount Robson

The article on Mount Robson says that the mountain was not named for John Robson as one might have guessed but, even so, if it was named for Robertson, it would seem odd to call it Robson. Does anyone have a source that would help with this? -- KenWalker | Talk 00:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC) reply

@ KenWalker: sixteen years later, but I found a cite, from the Canadian Encyclopedia article on Mount Robson. Still seems a bit speculative, but this article says "is likely named for him", so I think the cite supports the statement. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 15:31, 24 December 2023 (UTC) reply
