The genus name of Valkanoviella is in honour of Alexander Konstantinov Valkanov (1904–1971), who was a Bulgarian zoologist and Hydrobiologist (Mycology, Algology and Protistology). From 1942 - 196,3 he was a teacher at the Marine Biology Station in Varna, Bulgaria. Also in 1953, he was Professor at the Zoological Institute and Museum of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia.[3]
