Etymology of Rafnia:
For Carl (Karl) Gottlob Rafn (1769–1808), Danish civil servant, botanist and science writer. He studied medicine and botany at the University of Copenhagen in 1788, and later veterinary science, but did not take the exams. He had a range of jobs such as an agriculture assessor and director of a distillery, but his main interests were natural history and science. He authored or co-authored a range of publications, including the Flora of Denmarks and Holstein, a book on plant physiology (1798), a paper on animal hibernation with JD Herholdt, and a book on life-saving measures for drowning persons. He became a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences in 1798.
