The name honors the Howard and Rhonda Hawk family. Originally named L. tymerlachsoni, the name was corrected to L. tymerlachsonorum in 2009. However, this correction was based on the incorrect assumption that the name was based on a husband and wife team. Because the name is a compilation of bits of names, the original singular form was correct.
