How the hell do they come up with these names?

"Pierolapithecus catalaunicus"?

Can someone translate?

Catalaunicus seems to refer to a region, Western Europe, or Spain in this case.

I would guess Piero is a name of a team member? The discoverer I think gets the right to name it. Maybe somebody in their family?
