Named for German cactus collector Friedrich Eichlam (?-1911), who found the species in Guatemala. It was originally described by Wilhelm Weingart under the name Cereus laevigatus var. guatemalensis. Britton and Rose raised it to specific rank as Lemaireocereus eichlamii to avoid confusion with Cereus guatemalensis Vaupel.
