Real world connections
The Mountain is likely named after the diamond known as the Koh-i-Noor, which means Mountain-of-Light in Persian. This diamond was once the largest in the world, and passed through the hands of the Kaktiya dynasty in India, the Persian Empire, and the British empire. Another diamond with a similar history but remaining in Iran is the Daria-i-Noor, or Sea of Light.
