The name yarae comes from Yara, a mythical figure from the Indigenous Tupi and Guaraní cultures. Yara is known as the mother of the waters, a powerful spirit of beauty and protection. Naming this ray after her is both a tribute and a call to action. The formal recognition of Mobula yarae opens the door for targeted conservation efforts.
