The genus name of Quezeliantha is in honour of Pierre Ambrunaz Quézel (1926–2015), a French doctor, botanist and ecologist.[3] The Latin specific epithet of tibestica refers to the Tibesti Mountains in the central Sahara, in Chad. Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Taxon Vol.31 on page 558 in 1982.[1][2]
