I can imagine some early miner finding out about the name Panumunt, from native americans, and referencing the tribe and the mountain range associated with them, and upon sharing the name with other miners, they changed the name slightly to suit their needs. "pan-a-mint"; a hopeful dream or early ideas of stock promotion?
and, of course, there is water and creeks in the Panamints; more than enough to pan with.
