Etymology: Etheostoma: Greek, etheo = to strain + Greek, stoma = mouth; Rafinesque said "various mouths", but Jordan and Evermann suggest the name might have been intended as "Heterostoma (Ref. 45335); kennicotti: Named after Robert Kennicott, the collector of type specimens (Ref. 10294).
Eponymy: Robert Kennicott (1835–1866) was an American naturalist who founded the Chicago Academy of Sciences, and who explored the American Northwest (1857–1859). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
