Look in the metadata (media information) of the image file.  The Title
field in the metadata can be different than the filename.

 
What's odd is that this photo was the third of five taken on that hike, and
all 5 were sent as attachments to an email (gmail to a Thunderbird
account).  The other 4 had "normal" filenames.
 
When I plug the phone into the desktop computer, I can't find that photo,
but the other 4 are there.
 
When I use "Gallery" on the phone, the photo shows up normally, but Gallery
doesn't seem to display a filename.

  You do not say which (brand/model) phone or which 'Gallery' app.

  If a Samsung phone, then when you show the picture in the Samsung
Gallery app with the white background and function-icons, tap the
three-vertical-dots icon and tap 'Details'. That gives you the filename,
the pathname and some other (EXIF) info (date/time, phone model, size,
resolution, MP and shooting details).
