This family's name, and the name of the creatures in it, is a portmanteau of "{{w|jellyfish}}" and "float". The term "Spotted" in the members's names refers to the spots on their bodies. Their Japanese common names use the word {{j|マンマン|Manman}}, which has no meaning, but is pronounced similarly to {{j|マンコ|manko}}, a slang term used to refer to a woman's external genitals. In addition, the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat's ''Japanese name'' refers to {{j|ホト|hoto}}, an archaic term that also refers to the same body area. The genus name used in their scientific names is ''Cephalus'', which can be assumed to be related to the real-world {{w|Cephalopod|Cephalopoda}} class of animals, or the word "head". Finally, their internal names use the term <code>kurage</code>, which simply means {{j|くらげ|kurage|jellyfish|f=tp}}.
