According to mindata.com, "Named in 1979 by S.A. Williams in honor of Oliver Michael Boyer (15 November 1842, New Hope, Ohio, USA - 14 September 1918, Medford, Oklahoma, USA), prospector." Presumably, "O" is for Oliver, followed by "boyer" plus "ite," the usual designation for a mineral. A double entendre with the exclamation "Oh, boy!" is probable, here.
