==Etymology== The meaning of the generic name Etia is explained in the original description : "Etymology. Named for Ethelwynn Trewavas whose ground-breaking work on cichlid biology spanned some 60 years. Her creativity, humility and kindness are legendary. Ethelwynn was known to colleagues throughout the world as "E.T." and it is in her memory that the generic designation is made. Gender feminine." The species name refers to the village Nguti in Southwestern Cameroon where the majority of the type series was collected.
