Etymology: Siphamia: A Swazi word, siphama, for a fish; fraseri: This species is named fraseri for Dr. Thomas H. Fraser of the Mote Marine Laboratory, Sarasota, Florida in recognition of his numerous contributions to our knowledge of apogonid systematics (Ref. 90035).
Eponymy: Dr Thomas Henry Fraser is an ichthyologist specialising in cardinalfish, who works at Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville and at Mote Marine Laboratory, Sarasota, Florida. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
