Etymology:
"Named in honour of Jeremy Naaykens, Senior Advisor Riparian Ecology and Botany at Rio Tinto Australia. Jeremy has contributed much to our knowledge of the flora of the Pilbara region, and has collected specimens from most known populations of Eremophila naaykensii. His enthusiasm for the species often led to his disappearance up rocky ravines and gorges to collect specimens when other more pressing work was required."
