Why is this called Adam's Peak?

I can't find any reliable sources that call it Adams peak, and even the article states that it has been called Sri Pada by billions of people across all of Asia for centuries? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arohan19 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I highly recommend people should start respecting other culture and start naming it by its traditional names. Sri Pada is the right name. Nityasatyam (talk) 10:23, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No trace of why it is referred to as Adams Peak?

No references to Adam’s peak. Sri Pada is the well documented name of the mountain. 171.76.81.172 (talk) 16:20, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
