Okay, I'll bite, with apologizes that we are hijacking the thread. Could it be...

Sierra is "mountain range" in Italian and nevada is "snowy" in Spanish, so I guess we have Snowy Mountain Range Mountains.

Building on that, many will 'pluralize' it in the American way, calling them the Sierra Nevadas, which gives us Mountain Range Snowies.

Sounds about right.... although we try not to use the "S" word in a sentence.
