Originally named zajacite- (Ce) for Dr. Ihor Stephan Zajac (1935- ), the geologist who lead the exploration group that discovered the Strange Lake deposit and who first recognized the mineral. Later renamed to gargarinite- (Ce), for the relationship to gagarinite- (Y) and cerium as the dominant rare-earth element.
