Abstract

Here, we present the etymology of the Latin binomials of all reptile orders, families, genera and species in Turkiye. According to our results, the names are mostly given according to the characteristics of the species or in honor of a person. Reviewing the etymologies of the Latin names of reptile species living in Turkiye, and compiling information and heritage will be very useful, especially for Turkish herpetology.
