The type species, A. baroni, was originally named "Steneosaurus" baroni by ET Newton in 1893 on the basis of a partial skull listed as "NHMUK PV R 1999", and an associated osteoderm from Andranosamonta, Madagascar. In her unpublished 2019 thesis, Michela Johnson coined the nomen (ex dissertatione) Andrianavoay for S. baroni. The genus name was published in 2020.
