What is the literal translation for Nautiliaus pompilious?

The scientific name "Nautilus pompilius" can be roughly translated as "sailor with a large pump" in Latin, with "Nautilus" referring to a sailor or navigator, and "pompilius" thought to be derived from the Greek word for "pump" (pompos) due to the nautilus's unique shell shape.
