The genus name of Sargentodoxa is in honour of Charles Sprague Sargent (1841–1927), an American botanist. He was appointed in 1872 as the first director of Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum in Boston, Massachusetts.[3] The Latin specific epithet of cuneata is derived from cuneate meaning wedge-shaped.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in C.S.Sargent, Pl. Wilson. Vol.1 on page 351 in 1913.[2]
