In human culture
The etymology of the genus name Leptorhabdos derives from the two Ancient Greek words λεπτός (leptós), meaning "fine-grained, tiny", and ῥάβδος (rhábdos), meaning "rod, wand, stick". The synonym name Dargeria is a taxonomic anagram derived from the name of the confamilial genus Gerardia. The latter name is a taxonomic patronym honoring the English botanist John Gerard.
