In human culture
Both parts of the Latin binomial honor early ornithologists. Bangsia is named for Outram Bangs, a United States zoologist and collector; the specific epithet rothschildi honors Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild of Tring who was an English ornithologist, entomologist, collector, and publisher.
