Originally this comma was recommended by [[Paul Erlich]] to be named "Keenan's kleisma", after [[Dave Keenan]], due to "it figur[ing] particularly heavily in his many postings about microtemperament"<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_1161.html#1284 Yahoo!

The history of the name "keenanisma" is less clear. It is possible that "Keenan's kleisma" remained in use, and eventually was altered to "keenanisma" following a pattern used for many commas named for people. Another possibility is that when a temperament based on this comma was being named, "undecimal kleisma" was seen as unfit to base the name upon, and so Keenan's name was referenced instead, leading to "keenanismic", and then later "keenanisma" was formed from that.
