Caletodraco

Caletes dragon

• Caleto- · Latin · from the Caletes (Caleti), the Gaulish people of the Pays de Caux region of Normandy, France
• draco · Latin · dragon

The name appears to combine a reference to the Caletes, the ancient Gaulish people of the Pays de Caux in Normandy, with the Latin word for "dragon". It therefore likely means "dragon of the Caletes", pointing to the region where the fossils were found. I am not certain of this derivation.
