yeah i also noticed, but didnt wanted to meddle with names of articles (not want to screw anything). I guess sometimes several josekis had local names.

I have the impression that the terminology arose during discussions about AIs (initially LeelaZero, then Minigo) overusing this joseki, until more training led them to prefer to take sente. The first allusion I found was in the 2018-03-09 post below and seems to have been rapidly adopted in the Reddit and GitHub communities. As an aside, our article Chinese Classical Joseki refers to “The Lotus Flower Opening”, but that is a quite different pattern.

I suspect this name arose due to people being interested in Go AI who weren't so familiar with Go and the usual terms like ponnuki.
