Names, particularly those given to beings in the natural world, are more than just stagnant labels, they often reflect the worldviewWorldviews and knowledge of the culture that gave the name. Naming beings in the natural world is inherently a biocultural practice. They are imbued with history, the context of place, and interrelatedness to others. In this study we explore the intricate relationships between scientific and Indigenous nomenclatureIndigenous Nomenclature of bryophytesBryophytes, emphasizing the cultural, ecological, and spiritual meanings embedded in moss names. Through field investigations in southern ChileChile and a comparative analysis of taxonomic systems, we highlight how scientific classifications reflect evolutionary relationships, while Indigenous names embody place-based, habitat-specific, and worldview-driven understandings. By examining these diverse naming systems, we propose a pluricultural approach that fosters biocultural co-inhabitation, promoting mutual respect and ethical engagementEngagements with mosses and their ecosystems. Ultimately, we call for integrating scientific and Indigenous knowledge to enrich our collective relationship with the other-than-human world. Naming itself, and the exchange of nomenclature across various bodies of knowledge that contain the message of biocultural co-inhabitancy, becomes a kind among arts.
