The Latin name " Cryptochiton stelleri " means " Steller's hidden chiton " . " Steller " is in honor of the 18th-century German zoologist Georg Wilhelm Steller, who first described many species of the northern Pacific seashore . " Hidden " or " concealed " refers to the fact that the eight shelly plates characteristic of chitons are not visible, being totally internal in this genus of chiton.
