Etymology of specific epithet from ETYFish |
From “Centrina,” name for this shark dating to at least Giovio’s De romanis piscibus (1524), presumably derived from centrum (L.), prickle or sharp point, referring to spines on both dorsal fins. (See ETYFish)

Note: ETYFish and FishBase started a collaboration to complete the etymology for all valid names of fishes. For the current update, the following groups were completed: hagfishes (Myxini), lampreys (Petromyzonti), chimaeras (Holocephali), and sharks (Squalomorphi). It is a work in progress, so the two websites may not be synchronized.
