The genus name of Pavlova is in honour of Anna Pawlowna Pawlowa (1881–1931), who was a Russian prima ballerina of the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. This is because "the movement of the type species, Pavlova gyrans, is positively balletic".[3]
The genus was circumscribed by Roger William Butcher in J. Mar. Biol. Assoc. U.K. vol.31 on page 183, fig. 35-38 in 1952.
