Chinaman+peak. From being named for a male Chinese rail worker, Ha Ling, who climbed the peak in 1896.

Culturally, at the time of the climb, the white settlers anonymized the Chinese population by referring to them anonymously as Chinamen instead of acknowledging them by name, thus letting the climber's name fall out of local knowledge. The local nickname became the official name of the peak in 1980. The name was changed to Ha Ling Peak in 1997.
