The term "garibaldi" has two primary meanings:

  1. Clothing: It refers to a loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirt or blouse, popular in the late 19th century. This style was inspired by the red shirts worn by the Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi and his followers.1

  2. Fish: It is the name given to a bright orange damselfish (Hypsypops rubicundus) found along the Pacific coast from California to Baja California. These fish can grow up to about 14 inches (35.6 cm) long. Young garibaldi have iridescent blue spots that disappear as they mature. Damselfish, as a family, are small, tropical marine fish known for their vibrant colors and territorial behavior.12
