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.
Eponymy: Afele was a Samoan boy who collected the holotype from coral heads in Pago Pago. Nothing more was recorded about him. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
