The Latin specific epithet greigi honors the Russian Samuel Greig, (1735-1788, "Father of the Russian navy") due to Greig once being president of the Russian Horticultural Society.

This tulip species was originally found in Turkestan, and then published and described by Eduard August von Regel in Gartenflora Vol.22 on page 290 in 1873.
