A paragon is a thing of supreme excellence. The name appears on map sheet 28 of the Alberta-British Columbia Boundary Commission, published in 1924.
In 1919 Allen Carpé (1894–1932) and Howard Palmer (1883–1944) were the first climbers to visit Tonquin valley where they climbed McDonell and Paragon Peaks.
