Aerial photographs of the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) and the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957) were used to map the mountain. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it after the US physicist and Nobel Prize winner Percy Williams Bridgman (1882–1961), who studied ice crystal formation under high pressure conditions.
