Several species are named after him, for example Delamarella karamani Petkovski, 1957 (Harpacticoida), Stygophalangium karamani Oudemans, 1933 (Arachnida), or Macedonethes stankoi I. Karaman, 2003 (Isopoda).
Other taxa named karamani are labeled after his son Gordan S. Karaman, also a carcinologist.
