The genus name of Henonia is thought to be in honour of Jacques-Louis Hénon (1802–1872), a French republican politician.[3] The Latin specific epithet of myrtifolia 'myrtle-leaved' is derived from the Latin myrtus meaning 'myrtle', and folium meaning 'leaf'.[4] It was first described and published in Cat. Pl. Cub. on page 167 in 1866.[2]
