==Etymology== The name echinoderm is {{etymology|grc|''{{wikt-lang|grc|ἐχῖνος}}'' ({{grc-transl|ἐχῖνος}})|hedgehog||''{{wikt-lang|grc|δέρμα}}'' ({{grc-transl|δέρμα}})|skin}}.<ref name="OnlineEtDict">{{cite dictionary |title=echinoderm |url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=echinoderm&allowed_in_frame=0|dictionary=[[Online Etymology Dictionary]]}}</ref> The name Echinodermata was originated by [[Jacob Theodor Klein]] in 1734, but only in reference to [[echinoids]]. It was expanded to the phylum level by [[Jean Guillaume Bruguière]], first informally in 1789 and then in formal Latin in 1791. In 1955, [[Libbie Hyman]] attributed the name to "Bruguière, 1791 [ex Klein, 1734]."<ref name="attribution">{{harvnb|Stokes|2021}}</ref> This attribution has become common and is listed by the [[Integrated Taxonomic Information System]] (ITIS),<ref>{{harvnb|ITIS|loc=Echinodermata}}</ref> although some workers believe that the ITIS rules should result in attributing "Klein, 1778" due to a 2nd edition of his work published by [[Leske]] in that year.<ref name="attribution" /> While Echinodermata has been in common use since the mid-1800s,<ref name="attribution" /> several other names had been proposed.<ref name="altnames">{{harvnb|Ubaghs|1967|p=S5|loc=footnote 1}}</ref> Notably, [[Francis Arthur Bather|F. A. Bather]] called the phylum "Echinoderma" (apparently after [[Pierre André Latreille |Latreille]], 1825<ref name="altnames" />) in his 1900 treatise on the phylum,<ref>{{harvnb|Bather|1900}}</ref> but this name now refers to a [[Echinoderma|fungus]].
