Etymology Both Savigny and later Audouin & Milne Edwards did not give any indication of an etymology for Aonis. However, the Liddell, Scott, Jones Ancient Greek Lexicon states it derives from the location Aonia and that Aonis, idis, f. patr., is a Bœotian woman; hence, in the plur.: Aonides, the Muses, as later used for the genus Aonides of Claparède. As Audouin & Milne Edwards (1833) used the feminine suffix 'foliosa' for their species, and the Greek background aligns with this feminine suffix the genus name should be treated as feminine.

Nomenclature Audouin & Milne Edwards, 1833 characterised Aonis (of Savigny, 1822) and described Aonis foliosa, and are credited in Hartman Catalogue (1959:375) with authorship of Aonis in Spionidae, but clearly indicate they are applying a name introduced by Savigny (for Nereis caeca (now Nephtys)). Pettibone (1963:91) treated Aonis sensu Audouin & Milne-Edwards as a junior homonym of Savigny’s name, but this is not the case. [details]

Taxonomy Malmgren (1867:89) recognised that Aonis foliosa of Audouin & Milne Edwards (1833) was a Nerine (later a synonym of Scolelepis), and did not belong in Aonis of Savigny which was erected for a nepthyid. [details]
