Its name (meaning "Peak of the Three Bishops") stems from the fact that the peak is the convergence point of the Catholic dioceses of Biella, Aosta and Vercelli.

In the SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) it gives the name to a mountain group called "Catena Tre Vescovi - Mars".[1] The mountain is divided from the neighboring mount Gemelli di Mologna by the Mologna Grande pass. On the Valsesia side (NE) there are three small lakes (Italian: Laghi dei Tre Vescovi), while another one is on the Aosta Valley side (Gretie). Administratively Punta Tre Vescovi is included in the comuni of Gaby, Rassa and Andorno Micca.
