In human culture
The fish is named in honor of Evliya Çelebi (1611–1683), whose travel notes were published in the 10-volume Seyahatname (Book of Travels), which earned him the title of "the most famous Ottoman traveler". Originally P. evliyae, the name was changed to P. evliyai based on gender rules.
