The name Halococcaceae is derived from the Latin term Halococcus, referring to the type genus of the family and the suffix "-ceae", an ending used to denote a family. Together, Halococcaceae refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus Halococcus.
As of 2021, Halococcaceae contains a single validly published genus, Halococcus.[4] This family can be molecularly distinguished from other Halobacteria by the presence of 23 conserved signature proteins (CSPs) and nine conserved signature indels (CSIs) present in the following proteins: DNA gyrase subunit B, chaperone protein DnaK, HAD-superfamily hydrolase, glycosyltransferase, 2-Succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate synthase, iron-regulated ABC transporter, glycine dehydrogenase subunit 2, GMP synthase and a hypothetical protein.[1]
