Does the name "Seton", of Seton Academy, have any particular meaning, particularly referring to wild animals? I tried looking up whether it was the name of a famous zoologist, or biologist, or taxonomist, or something similar, and came up blank.

It's likely named after a wildlife illustrator/writer and naturalist named Ernest Thompson Seton. His animal stories works such as, Wildlife I Know, Biography of the Gray Bear, and The Life of Hunted Things are collectively referred to as "Seton Animal Stories" in Japan.

  • Exactly what I was looking for. I wonder why I wasn't able to find it (probably because if he was just listed as "illustrator" in the list of Setons I was looking at, I would have ignored it). – ConMan Mar 11 '20 at 02:53
