In Nepal Mount Everest is actually called Sagarmatha.
(The Government of Nepal gave the mountain the official Nepali name of Sagarmatha in the 1960s, translated it means "Goddess of the Sky". The Chinese call it Qomolangma, and the Tibetan name is, Chomolungma. We English do like to rename things, and having tried to pronounce those names I can understand why.)
