The name Yingvirus derives from 嬴 (yíng), the ancestral name of Duke Mù of Qín during the Spring and Autumn period, along with -virus the suffix for a virus genus.[2] Qinviridae gets its name from 秦 (Qín), meaning Qín State, added to -viridae the suffix for a virus family.[2] Muvirales is from 穆 (Mù), again for Duke Mù of Qín, along with -virales the suffix for a virus order.[2] Chunqiuviricetes is from 春秋时代 (Chūnqiū Shídài), or Spring and Autumn period, attached to -viricetes the suffix for a virus class.[2] .
