The new species epithet is derived from the Sanskrit word Jaladhârâ (jala=water + adhâra = reservoir), meaning deposit of water. The new species is treated as a symbol of freshwater resources, as this frog is seen floating on the surface of freshwater ponds / streams during both day and night time. The species epithet is treated as a noun in apposition to the generic name. Suggested common name: Jaladhara skittering frog.
