List of organisms named after famous people (born 1900–1949)

Template:SHORTDESC: In biological nomenclature, organisms often receive scientific names that honor a person. A taxon (e.g., species or genus; plural: taxa) named in honor of another entity is an eponymous taxon, and names specifically honoring a person or persons are known as patronyms. Scientific names are generally formally published in peer-reviewed journal articles or larger monographs along with descriptions of the named taxa and ways to distinguish them from other taxa. Following rules of Latin grammar, species or subspecies names derived from a man's name often end in -i or -ii if named for an individual, and -orum if named for a group of men or mixed-sex group, such as a family. Similarly, those named for a woman often end in -ae, or -arum for two or more women. This list is part of the List of organisms named after famous people, and includes organisms named after famous individuals born between 1 January 1900 and 31 December 1949. It also includes ensembles (including bands and comedy troupes) in which at least one member was born within those dates; but excludes companies, institutions, ethnic groups or nationalities, and populated places. It does not include organisms named for fictional entities, for biologists, paleontologists or other natural scientists,[note 1] nor for associates or family members of researchers who are not otherwise notable; exceptions are made, however, for natural scientists who are much more famous for other aspects of their lives, such as, for example, Japanese emperors Hirohito and Akihito. Sir David Attenborough was formerly included in this section of the list as one of these exceptions, since despite his formal training as a natural scientist, he is more widely known to the public as a documentary filmmaker. However, due to the high number of taxa named after him (over 50 as of 2022), he has been removed; his patronyms can be found in the List of things named after David Attenborough and his works. Organisms named after famous people born earlier than 1900 can be found in:

Organisms named after famous people born later than 1949 can be found in:

The scientific names are given as originally described (their basionyms): subsequent research may have placed species in different genera, or rendered them taxonomic synonyms of previously described taxa. Some of these names are unavailable in the zoological sense or illegitimate in the botanical sense due to senior homonyms already having the same name.

Agathidium bushi Miller & Wheeler, 2005 Beetle George W. Bush This beetle was named by Quentin D. Wheeler, and President Bush was pleased with the gesture, even calling Wheeler to thank him for the honor. Because of the problematic public image of Bush and his cabinet, and the fact that this is a slime-mold beetle which feeds on decaying fungi, some interpreted the naming to be intended as an insult; however, Wheeler clarified that this species, as well as A. cheneyi and A. rumsfeldi, were meant as homages: "We admire these leaders as fellow citizens who have the courage of their convictions and are willing to do the very difficult and unpopular work of living up to principles of freedom and democracy rather than accepting the expedient or popular". Co-author Kelly Miller said "We intended the names to be honorific... We were two conservatives in academia working together (which is not common). It was early in the Iraq war period, and we were both in favor of intervention there... And finally, we love our beetles! We wouldn't name a new species after someone we didn't like. [In interviews,] we compared it to the Lewis and Clark expedition naming the three forks of the Missouri after Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin (President, Vice President, and Secretary of the Treasury [at the time])." [25][26]
[27][28]
Agathidium cheneyi Miller & Wheeler, 2005 Beetle Dick Cheney [25][26]

Agrilus updikei Hespenheide, 2012 Beetle John Updike A species of jewel beetle that mimics flies, "named in honor of the late writer John Updike. Although Updike published sparingly on Neotropical beetles (1963), his use of metaphors, widely admired by critics, recommends this honor because, in a sense, a species which mimics another is a kind of metaphor for the mimicked species and benefits by being confused for its model by uncritical predators." [33]
Akihito Watson, Keith, & Marquet, 2007 Fish Akihito A freshwater goby endemic to Vanuatu. "The new genus name honors Emperor Akihito for his many contributions to goby systematics and phylogenetic research" [34]

Allobates algorei Barrio-Amorós & Santos, 2009 Frog Al Gore "We name this species after the former American vice-president and Nobel Peace Laureate Al Gore to recognize his ecumenical efforts to alert the people of the planet about the global warming crisis. Amphibians are among the organisms most affected by this crisis, even without direct prosecution by humans. Concretely, the Andes of Venezuela [where this species is native from] have suffered an evident decimation of amphibian populations due to known and unknown causes." [39]
Allocybaeina littlewalteri Bennett, 2020 Spider Little Walter "The specific epithet is a patronym honouring the late musician "Little" Walter Jacobs whose ground-breaking approach to blues harmonica in the 1950s and 1960s set the standards for all subsequent players". [40]
Alterosa amadoi Dumas, Calor & Nessimian, 2013 Caddisfly Jorge Amado A species native to Bahia state, Brazil, "dedicated to the deceased Brazilian writer Jorge Amado, who was born in Bahia state in 1912 and died in 2001. Amado is one of the most acclaimed contemporary Brazilian novelists, whose 32 novels have sold millions of copies. Among his best-known works are Capitães de Areia, Gabriela, Cravo e Canela, and Tieta do Agreste. In 2012, Brazil celebrated the centenary of his birth." [41]
Alterosa caymmii Dumas, Calor & Nessimian, 2013 Caddisfly Dorival Caymmi A species native to Bahia state, Brazil, "named in memory of Dorival Caymmi, considered one of the most important Brazilian songwriters. Caymmi was born in Bahia state in 1914 and died [in] 2008. He became a national icon with his lyrics that evoked the charm of Bahia's fishing villages, beaches and beautiful women, like "O Que é Que a Baiana Tem?", "Marina", "Rainha do Mar", "Samba da Minha Terra", among others". [41]
Amaurotoma zappa Plas, 1972 Snail Frank Zappa A fossil species from the Permian of Nevada, USA [42][43]
Ami bladesi Pérez-Miles, Gabriel & Gallon, 2008 Spider Rubén Blades This species was described from a specimen collected in Colón Island, Panama.

[44][45]
Amplaria adamsi Shear & Krejca, 2007 Millipede Ansel Adams A troglobiont species found in Sequoia National Park, California, named "After the late Ansel Adams, an extraordinary photographer whose finest pictures depict the Sierra Nevada." [46]
Anacroneuria carole Stark, 2004 Stonefly Carole King "The species name [...] honors singer, songwriter, environmental advocate, Carole King in recognition of the music career, a pearl by any standard." (This species belongs to the family Perlidae) [47]
Anacroneuria taylori Stark, 2004 Stonefly James Taylor "The patronym honors singer, songwriter James Taylor in appreciation of his attention to environmental causes, particularly those in the rainforests of South America where Anacroneuria occurs." [47]

Hedyotis papafranciscoi Alejandro Flowering plant Pope Francis This species from the Philippines was discovered by researchers of the Catholic University of Santo Tomas (Manila) and "dedicated to Pope Francis, the reigning pope [...][at the time of the species description, 2015] of the Catholic Church. Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose Francis as his papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francis is the first Jesuit pope." Pope Francis had visited the university campus during his first papal visit to the Philippines, that same year. [51][52]
