Well, wikipedia says it is the name of a small fish

So ?

BTW, picture of the fish looks like a knife











So the knife is named after some fish.
Not so bad IMHO

Here's a more humorous introduction to the Candiru fish from "The Rundown" with the Rock: The Rundown - Canduri Fish

As to why you'd name your knife after one ... I have no idea smile.
