Indigenous peoples inhabited the slopes of Cerro Zurquí before Spanish colonization, with the name deriving from the Supi River flowing from its heights.

The Bribri people named this mountain Choli, connecting it to their understanding of water sources and natural springs in their traditional beliefs.
