Etymology: Davidijordania: Because of Davis Starr Jordan (1851-1931), naturalist; he wrote near 50 books and 600 articles and scientific papers about ichthyology in Stanford University.
Eponymy: Dr David Starr Jordan (1851–1931) was a leading American ichthyologist, physician, educator, peace activist and believer in eugenics; moreover, he was founding President of Stanford University.
