Odobenus nomen e vocabulis Graecis ὀδούς et βαίνω compositum est, quasi dentibus progrediens; nam dentibus longe prominentibus haerens odobenus saepe e mari in litus vel in saxa proserpit. Alexander Guagnini saeculo sedecimo odobenum nomine Polonico mors nominat et ut monstrum fabulosum describit.[2]
