Synodontis is confirmed to be masculine by Schraml (2011: Ref. 92352). Specific epithet originally as macropunctata, corrected to macropunctatus.

| Etymology of generic noun |
Greek, syn, symphysis = grown together + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335).
|
| Etymology of specific epithet |
The specific epiteth is a combination of the Greek 'makros', meaning large, and the Latin 'punctata', meaning spotted, a reference to the large spots that characterize the coloration pattern of this species (Ref. 75786).
