Hahhaaa Evilone while that is the loose English name not quite what I was looking for smiliee

Okay man can't believe no one wanted to even try here. 12 hours a bit of net surfing and anyone could have found the answer!

Well here is the answer contest is over:

The flowerhorn got it's name from two symbolic parts. The first being it's vibrant colors resembling flowers, and a nuchal hump on it's forehead much alike that of the Malaysian Hornbill (bird) Hence the aptly name "Hua Lor Han" it's English equivalent-- Flowerhorn was born! its a beautiful thing
