| Etymology of specific epithet |
Vaillant suggested the name polyacanthus based on the canine teeth and spines in the first
dorsal fin that differed from Cheilodipterus species (however, no name derivation was given by him). Fraser (2013) assumed that the masculine Greek noun 'akanthos' meaning prickly plant, as acanthus and the prefix 'poly-' meaning many or very; treated as a noun in apposition.
