  A new Genus Dyakianum?

Have any genera or species been named in honour of the native peoples, the
Dyaks?

there's at least the orchid genus Dyakia.

btw, borneo is the home of a dozen or more peoples,
not just the dayaks. there are also penans, kadazans,
etc.

Yes. Dyakia (Orchidacea) was named for exactly that purpose. At present it
describes one species, Dyakia hendersoniana, formerly described under
Ascocentrum.

And of course the Dyaks thelselves are more than one cultural group.
