Etymology: Parupeneus: Latin, parum, parvum = small + Peneus, the name of a river; nansen: Named for the research vessel Dr. Fridtjof Nansen; noun in apposition.
Eponymy: The species is named after RV ‘Dr Fridtjof Nansen’, the research vessel from which the holotype was taken, though the binomial is also intended “…to honour the famous Norwegian explorer and scientist for whom the vessel was named.” (See entry above) (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
