: This temperament was discovered by [[Dave Keenan]], so an earlier proposed name was ''keenan''. As he did for the comma now known as the [[Keenanisma #Etymology|''keenanisma'']], Dave Keenan resisted the temperament being named after him, and preferred descriptive names to eponymous ones because they would be more useful. Unfortunately, by the time Dave's preference reached [[Paul Erlich]], Paul had already begun to use the name ''keenan'' in a series of diagrams, and so renaming it to something descriptive such as ''minorthirds'' at this point would require an inordinate amount of reordering busywork. Due to this, the effort to rename the temperament continued, but with the additional constraint that the name could not alter its alphabetical ordering with respect to its nearest neighboring temperaments in Paul's diagrams. The name chosen in the end, ''keemun'', was suggested by [[Herman Miller|Herman "Teamouse" Miller]] as a reference to {{w|Keemun}}, a Chinese black tea with a winey and fruity taste, designated as a China Famous Tea.

: Although this name did not satisfy Dave's request for descriptiveness, it fulfilled the ultimate goal of distinguishing itself from the name ''kleismic'', thereby ending the unfortunate practice of calling this temperament, a 7-limit extension of hanson with a much lower accuracy, by ''kleismic'' also. See the temperament's dedicated page for sources.
