Etymology: Eviota: No etymology given, suggested by Christopher Scharpt: from Latin 'eu' for 'true' and 'iota' for anything very small, in combination 'truly very small' referring to it as being the smallest vertebrate at the time it has benn described by Jenkins (thus, making the suggestion by Scharpt plausible; kathyae: Name 'kathyae' in honor of Kathryn (Kathy) Uhrig Kimball, the second author’s life companion and an active diving member of the expedition that uncovered this beautiful new species.
