Etymology
The name is derived from the Latin word "nassa", meaning a wickerbasket with a narrow neck, for catching fish. ''Nassarius'' would then mean "someone who uses such a wickerbasket for catching fish".

Modern uses
''
Nassarius vibex'' is a species which is often selected for marine
aquaria. It is often confused with ''
Nassarius obsoletus'', a cooler water snail less suited to tropical marine aquarium temperatures. In aquaria, the ''Nassarius'' is considered nearly indispensable for keeping sand beds clean and healthy, as these snails tend to burrow and plow through the upper layer in a conch-like fashion, keeping algae and detritus from building up visibly on the surface.
The shells of various species of ''Nassarius'' are popular with shell collectors, and are sometimes used in jewelry and other forms of decoration.
Taxonomy
The genus ''Nassarius'' has traditionally been subdivided into several subgenera, based on differences in shell morphology, especially the
