The genus name of Daustinia is in honour of Daniel Frank Austin (1943–2015), an American botanist from the University of Arizona.[3] The Latin specific epithet of montana means "of the mountains" referring to the habitat of the plant.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Phytotaxa Vol.197 on page 60 in 2015.[2][1]
