Allan Octavian Hume CB was a civil servant, political reformer and amateur ornithologist and horticulturalist in British India. He was one of the founders of the Indian National Congress, a political party that was later to lead the Indian independence movement. A notable ornithologist, Hume has been called "the Father of Indian Ornithology" and, by those who found him dogmatic, "the Pope of Indian ornithology."

A number of animals and birds are named after Hume. These include
:
Hume's Leaf-warbler Phylloscopus humei
Sikkim Wedge-billed Babbler "Sphenocichla humei"
Manipur Bush Rat, Hadromys humei (Thomas, 1886)
Hume's Argali, Ovis ammon humei Lydekker 1913 (now treated as Ovis ammon karelini, Severtzov, 1873) ...more
