The mountain was named by the Geodetic Survey in 1923, during the survey of the interprovincial boundary, after Hon. Peter Talbot [1854-1919], Lacombe; Member of Senate of Canada, 1906-19.
(Not named after British travel author Frederick Arthur Ambrose Talbot [1880–1924], who traversed the Yellowhead Pass in 1910, one year ahead of the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.)
