Its height makes it the highest peak in Tlaxcala, the fifth-highest in Puebla, the sixth-highest in Mexico, the 23rd-highest in North America, and the 252nd-highest in the world. Its height above nearby cities varies from above Huamantla, above Villa Vicente Guerrero, above Tlaxcala to above Puebla. The summit is from Tlaxcala, from Puebla, and from Mexico City. The climate is cold on the summit and mild on its lower slopes. 
The Tlaxcaltecs named it "Matlalcueitl", which translates to "[Lady of the] Blue Skirt", a goddess of rain and song, believed to be the local equivalent of Chalchiuhtlicue. The Spanish named it simply "Sierra de Tlaxcala" ("Tlaxcalan Range"). The current name "Malinche" or "Malintzin", in honor of the woman who helped Hernán Cortés as an interpreter during the conquest of the Aztec Empire, became popular during the 17th century.
