The name refers to Jeremiah Colman (1859–1942), an English collector of orchids,[2] and uses the suffix -ara used to form nothogenera of orchids. The nothogenus was established in 1936.[3]

In the current botanical classifications according to Genera Orchidacearum by Alec M. Pridgeon, Phillip J. Cribb, Mark W. Chase, and Finn N. Rasmussen, Odontoglossum is merged into Oncidium and x Colmanara is considered to be the same as the nothogenus x Miltonidium. The RHS Orchid register does not register x Colmanara anymore.
