The specific epithet nannobranchia is composed by the prefix of Greek origin nanno-, meaning 'small' or 'smallest', and the Latin noun branchia, meaning 'gills', and refers to the small size of the branchiae of the species: "This form differs from the others known from the coast of California [...] in the marked reduction of the branchiae in the posterior region" (Chamberlin, 1919: 260). [details]
