It is named after the luckdragon Falkor (Fuchur in the original German) from Michael Ende's novel The Neverending Story; the character was named Fujur in the Spanish translation of the book, and the lead author of the taxon is Spanish. It was noted that "The name adds to the list of kinorhynch (mud dragons) species named after dragons and also refers to the study of kinorhynch phylogeny as a "never-ending story"."[3]
