One of the species, Enyalioides azulae, is named for the reserve whereas the second species is found in the same river valley and is named after the man who helped fund the survey, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. Al Nahyan created the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund to preserve various species around the world.
