Etymology: From original description: "The species name is a plural noun in the genitive form, which means “frog-loving people”. It acknowledges the contributions of Marius Burger, Nick Evans, Cormac Price and Dylan Leonard, who were the first to record and “re-discover” this species, James Harvey, Adrian Armstrong and Kirsty Kyle who provided additional information on this species, and the efforts of the many herpetologists and other nature-lovers who submitted data to the Southern African Frog Atlas Project (1996−2003)" (du Preez et al 2025). |
