EtymologyNamed after James D. Smallwood, who collected the holotype of the anole (1960) when assisting Schwartz, who acknowledged him in his book on the mammals of the West Indies.

A. n. palardis was named after its heavily spotted pattern, for which Schwartz proposed the name palardis as an anagram of the Latin word pardalis, meaning "leopard." (Schwartz 1964)
