The name Mivirus derives from 芈 (Mǐ), the ancestral name of King Zhuang of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period, along with -virus the suffix for a virus genus.[2] Chuviridae gets its name from 楚 (Chǔ), meaning Chǔ state, added to -viridae the suffix for a virus family.[2] Jingchuvirales is from 荆楚 (Jīngchǔ), a synonym for Chǔ, along with -virales the suffix for a virus order.[2]
