Harry,
I thought Strombus was from the Greek strombos, for any spiral shell or top.
We have a couple of interesting articles on strombs coming up in American
Conchologist that might shed a bit of light on this for you.

Thank You Dan, What I'm looking for, if there is one, a brake down of the
word/words, Strombus/Strombidae. Ii have trouble with English so I would
not think of tackling Latin or French, etc. Doesn't "strom" have a meaning
then "bus" or what ever?

Xenophoridae:

CI:

lambis
> (S. pugilis - S. alatus- S. gracilior)((E. goliath- E. gigas) (A.
costatus - A.

> Xenophoridae) is a monophyletic superfamily supported by 42
synapomorphies,
> Xenophoridae and Strombidae are monophyletic, as well as Strombus, Aliger
and
> Eustrombus are monophyletic genera; whereas Aporrhaidae and Aporrhais are
> paraphyletic taxa; the Xenophoridae are the sister taxon of the
Strombidae.
> Lambis lambis is represented in a branch within species currently
included in
> Strombus, thus some genera were revalidated (Eustrombus and Aliger) and
> subgenera require elevation to genera (Strombus s.s., Tricornis,
Conomurex,
