Zvonimir's blenny (Parablennius zvonimiri) is a species of combtooth blenny found in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. This species reaches a length of 7 centimetres (2.8 in) TL. The identity of the person honoured by this species' specific name is uncertain but, it is thought to be a reference to the Medieval King of Croatia and Dalmatia Demetrius Zvonimir who reigned from 1075 to 1089. This allusion was probably done as a homage to the area where the type was collected.
