âHow Cotopaxi got its name is unknown,â according to historian Virginia McConnell Simmons in The Upper Arkansas Valley, but we can start speculating in Ecuador, home of the above Cotopaxi. At 19,347 feet, itâs the highest active volcano in the world, and the second-highest mountain in Ecuador. According to Mountain Names by Robert Hixson Julyan, Cotopaxi comes from two Quecha words, ccota pasca, which mean âshining pile.â Rather than apply their own name, the Spanish adapted the local name after conquering the area in 1551.
