Chumporn is a region of India. If you think of Indian words spoken in
English - especially with a British bent - it seems to me the spelling could
be interpreted as Champorn....

That and this is what made me go look. Christensen spells it
champornensis, and web sites seem to be pretty evenly split on the
spelling. I always thought it was chumpornensis, but again, what do I
know? Until someone sneers in my face I'm going with Christensen. But
then again Christensen doesn't choose to give it variety status (to a
teratologic monstrosity) so what does he know, *G*.
