Although I cannot find the information on the Board of Geographic Names website I believe this peak was officially named as “Calkins” Peak and is named for Stephen Calkins (1842-1922). Calkins established mineral lode claims in the area. The maps show the spelling as “Calkens.” This White Cloud Mountains peak is a popular peak and easily accessed from The Boulder Chain of Lakes area. USGS Boulder Chain Lakes
