Yanbeilong

Yanbei dragon

• Yanbei · Chinese · a historical name for northern Shanxi, meaning 'north of the Yan (Yanmen Pass)'
• long · Chinese · dragon

The name appears to combine "Yanbei", a regional name for northern Shanxi Province, China, with the Chinese word "long" (dragon), a common ending for Chinese dinosaur names. It therefore means roughly "dragon of Yanbei". I am not certain of the details of this genus, so this etymology is inferred from the name's components.

I am not confident of the author, year, age, or classification of this genus, so those fields are left blank rather than guessed. Please check the original publication.
