The name Meager Mountain was adopted on May 6, 1924 as labelled on a 1923 British Columbia map. In 1966, the volcano was renamed to Mount Meager. According to a BC Geographical Names letter written in March 1983, "the local name, Cathedral, was duplicated elsewhere, so the mountain was renamed Meager after the creek of that name which lies to the south of it". Meager Creek is in turn named after J.B. Meager, who was an owner of timber licences on the creek.
