Why do you think they are called terrible and marvelous.?

Terrible part, easy, marvelous, not so easy. They called dinosaurs stuff like "Terrible Claw" and stuff like that because of the fierce, killer claws and teeth the carnivores with Terrible in their name had, like Deinonochus' Claws! I think they call dinosaurs marvelous (in the name) because they might have been graceful, amazing, or just plain beutiful.

What does dinosaur name means?

"Terrible lizard." It's kind of an unfortunate name, because dinosaurs weren't lizards, but the scientists who first studied their fossil remains were unwilling to accept the simple country folks' notion that they looked like fowl. If they had been a bit more open-minded, we might be calling them "dinogalliformes," or "terrible chickens."
