Etymology Viguier (1886) explains that "Quant au nom spécifique, il est emprunté à la batterie située au milieu du port d'Alger." Aguado et al (2019: 72) further explain "Amblyosyllis algefnae was named after the artillery battery located in the middle of Algiers harbour when the species was collected, known as Al-Djefna. It was briefly cited in the 1894’s fictious novel “The Great War in England in 1897” by William Le Queux: “In a few minutes the Al-Djefna Battery in the centre of the harbour replied”. The battery was built on a submarine rock of the same name originally located opposite the mouth of the harbour and later incorporated in its interior upon its expansion, being finally integrated in the passenger’s wharf of Al Djefna (Algiers, Algeria)."
