My teacher's teacher did a deshi with us last month, and he told us that he thinks it comes from Tam Tui (spring leg). Type Tam Tui (Also spelled Tan Tui) into youtube and click on the some videos, you'll see the similarities.
since you say, do you by chance know what Chinese form Niahanchi exactly originates from? it remains a mystery for Karate researchers. But 'Hand Of Death' (1976) movie features an episode with a taolu very similar to Naihanchi Nidan
@Kaisertoji Yes, basically. Many of the Kata in the 5 major styles, and indeed the forms of TKD are very similar. They are all evolved from the ancient Kata, even the ones created by the later masters use techniques from the classic Kata. Mutobu Choki actualy refered to a kata as a style of karate within itself. It's always good to remember that there are many paths in modern karate, all lead to the top of the mountain, but there is only the one mountain and one top. OSU!

@mrthebillman It's nice to see some of the older interpretations of this kata.

@Ronin6575 This is not Shito Ryu, it is Shuri Te. It is the first third of what was originally a much longer kata, as practiced in China. Thank You.
