Named in honor of Brother Hermano Nicéforo María (1888-1980), Museo del Instituto de La Salle, Bogotá; a Frenchman originally named Antoine Rouhaire Siauzade who became a missionary in Colombia under his monastic name, he sent a collection of Colombian freshwater fishes to Myers, including the type specimen of this one.[4]
