Etymology. The species is named in honour of Hungarian Saint Kinga (or Kunigunda) (1224–1292) from the House of Árpád. She was the wife of Boleslaw Wstydliwy (= Boleslaw V the Chaste) (1226–1279), the ruling prince of Poland (1243–1279). She is the patron saint of Poland and Lithuania, and a strong historic tie between Hungary and Poland. The specific name symbolizes the comity of the two nations.
