The scientific name of the Asian small-clawed otter is Aonyx cinerea. The genus name Aonyx is derived from Greek, meaning "without claws," referring to the otter's notably small claws compared to other otter species. The species name cinerea comes from Latin, meaning "ash-colored," which describes the animal's fur coloration. Together, the name reflects both a physical characteristic and a visual trait of this unique otter species.

Freshwater otters get their water from freshwater sources. Thus, species like the North American river otter (Lontra canadensis), the Eurasian river otter (Lutra lutra), and the Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinerea) drink from the same rivers and lakes in which they swim. The sea otter, on the other hand, is specially adapted to its saltwater habitat. The sea otter's large kidneys process the saltwater that the otter drinks from the ocean, allowing the otter to live without need of freshwater.
