Etymology The genus name was derived from Greek δράκων drakon, dragon, and from Greek deres, neck, a common suffix of cyclorhagid genera, and referred to the remotely dragon-like appearance of Kinorhyncha with their spiny head and segmented trunk.
Original etymology by Higgins & Shirayama (1990, p. 940):
"The genus name is derived from the Greek (drakon) dragon plus (deres) neck. The gender of the genus is musculine." [details]
