The etymology of the scientific name "Sphodromantis viridis" is as follows: "Sphodro" is derived from Greek, meaning "robust" or "large." "Mantis" comes from Greek, meaning "prophet" or "diviner." "Viridis" is Latin for "green." So the name translates to "robust green diviner," likely describing the robust and green appearance of this species of praying mantis.
