Etymology of generic noun |
'badis' is presumably a Bengali local name, possibly derived from 'bhedo' or 'bheda', but it lacks a proper reference. Probably incorrect etymology (J. Müller, pers. comm., April 2021, after information from native speakers)

Etymology of specific epithet |
The specific name is an ancient Persian for The Pleiades, which is an open cluster of bright blue stars and part of the constellation Taurus. This is in reference to the cleithral blotch, part of the postorbital stripe and dorsal fin sheath scale blotches frequently being bright blue. A noun in apposition.
