The lower peak is called Moylerahs (4’602 m); a Hyarmendorean name which means “black peak” and it is on the east of the mountain and has no permanent glaciers. Mount Andrea (4’800 m), located on the west, is the highest elevation of the mountain and has permanent glaciers; its name was given in honor of Andrea Buchani, the Buchani patriarch who founded Zulfía.
