who first described the genus in 1818. The generic name Cirolana is an anagram of Carolina, named for an unknown woman called Caroline. Leach named a number of isopod genera with anagrams of Caroline or Carolina. In the French work in which Leach proposed these names he gave each new genus a French name as well as a Latin zoological name. Sometimes - as with ''Cirolana'' - it was the French name that was the anagram of Caroline; in this case 'Cirolane'.
