Its deprecated junior homonym is Therapon. It was introduced since "Terapon" was perceived as an incorrect rendering of the Greek word therapon. In fact, the intended etymology was Greek: teras = "strange thing, monster, wonder" (cf. teratosaurus) + Greek: pontios = "marine", pertaining to the sea.
