The etymology behind names are almost always OOU and definitely belongs in the BtS section. In the cases where the IU etymology is given in an AC source, then there simply should be a section in the body created specifically to explain the etymology. Even if you think it is not significant enough to merit its own section, it can be included in other sections in some way. For example, the etymology of Khemu's name can be touched upon in the biography section by explaining why his parents chose that name for him. If the etymology is the same IU and OOU, then it can be mentioned in both sections from their respective perspectives.

Also, I wish to clarify that we don't necessarily need to phase out the trivia section even though it would be used solely to list IU facts that should be incorporated into the body later. It is just that I am aware that it has sometimes been argued on other wikis that it is unnecessary to even have a section for content that has not yet been fitted into the body which is what trivia is looked down upon. I have personally felt that this was a bit too puritanical and that is why I don't mind trivia sections.

This being said, I should also clarify that if IU facts in the trivia cannot fit into the body, it is the responsibility of editors to find a way to do so eventually (e.g. in regards to etymology, creating a new IU section for it). Strictly speaking, floating IU content are not markers of a quality article. By wiki principle, one is always supposed to find a way to incorporate them into the prose, and one always should be able to.

Remember that the body of articles need not be limited to just "Biography", "History", and "Personality" sections. There's no restriction on what other section it can have for explaining IU content. On the other hand, you might find that the trivia point you thought could not be fit into the body is actually explained better as an OOU point, in which case it belongs in the BtS section.
