Recently I needed to install yum mbstring but because I have two different versions of PHP installed I needed to install mbstring for php 5.5. Through some random google searches I figured out to run:

yum install php55-php-mbstring.x86_64

Is there an easier way of finding out the name of the package for specific php versions?

In general you don't need to search the whole internet for packages, you only need to select the correct package from the ones available in the repositories that are configured and enabled on the system concerned...

yum search mbstring

or if you prefer 

yum list *mbstring*

or variations/refinements thereof as suggested in man yum
