Etymology: Gogolia: -ia, belonging to: Gogol River, Madang Province, Papua New Guinea, type locality. (See ETYFish);  filewoodi: In honor of Australian biologist Lionel Winston Filewood (1936-2014), Biologist-In-Charge, Department of Agriculture, Stock and Fisheries, Konedobu, Papua New Guinea, for his work on the poorly known elasmobranch fauna of New Guinea; he intended to describe this shark with Compagno but was unable to do so, whereupon he “generously relinquished” both the task and the holotype to his collaborator. (See ETYFish).
