  Etymology of specific epithet  
The specific name schitsu’umsh (pronounced s-CHEET-sue-umsh) is Americanist phonetic notation of the spoken word used by the first peoples who inhabited portions of northern Idaho and western Montana, now recognized as the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. In modern usage it means "those who were found here" and refers to the people of this tribe. The current distribution of this species overlaps with most of the historical homeland of this tribe.
