Etymology

  • Jorunna. Possibly dedicated to Jorunn Bjarnadottir, a character of an Icelandic viking saga, wife of Ólafr Höskuldsson (c. 938–1006)nicknamed “the Peacock” because of his proud bearing and magnificent wardrobe.
  • Evansi. Classical authors did not indicate the ascription of the dedicated names. It can be dedicated to Sir Frederick John Owen Evans (1815-1885) marine scientist, or Sir John Evans (1823-1908), British malacologist and archaeologist, or to John William Evans (1857-1930) British malacologist, minerologist, petrologist, philosopher and traveler.
