Name origin
The kabuto in Kabutops's name could be derived from 兜 kabuto, helmet, referring to its shape and rock-like properties. Its head has a resemblance to a 兜蟹 kabutogani, horseshoe crab. Tops might mean that it is the "the top" in its evolutionary line. It could also be a reference to the extinct creature triceratops or ceratopsidae in general.
Unlike Kabuto, it does not resemble trilobites as much, but it does resemble Samurai Armor.
"Lantis," from the word "Atlantis," was the proto-type name for Kabutops.
