From: U.S. Forest Service Website, Deschutes National Forest, 2002
The Three Sisters appear as the "Three Sisters" on Preston's map of Oregon of 1856. The name was probably originally applied by members of the Methodist Mission in Salem in the early 1840's, and the individual peaks were given the names "Mount Faith", "Mount Hope", and "Mount Charity", beginning from the north.

Most likely, the missionaries had I Corinthains 13:13 in mind: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and charity (love). But the greatest of these is love."
