The name of this mountain - where wayna is sometimes used in the Andes region as an attribute for a neighboring lower mountain - might refer to the Chullkani volcano (5,032 m (16,509 ft)) west of it which possibly erroneously received that name instead of 'Chullunkhäni'.
Another mountain named Wayna Chullunkhäni, also spelled (Huayna Chuluncani), lies northwest of Chullkani at 18°14′57″S 68°51′22″W at a creek named Wayna Chullkani (Huayna Chullcani).
