The genus name of Vvedenskya is in honour of Aleksai Ivanovich Vvedensky (1898–1972), a Russian botanist, who worked at herbariums in Penza and Tashkent, Uzbekistan.[4] The Latin specific epithet of pinnatifolia is a compound word derived from pinnate meaning feathered and folia from foliage meaning leaves.[5] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Bot. Mater. Gerb. Inst. Bot. Zool. Akad. Nauk Uzbeksk. S.S.R. Vol.8 on pages 13-14 in 1947.[2]

Schischkin (1951) considered the genus of Vvedenskya Korovin (1947: 14) doubtful and transferred its only species to the genus Conioselinum Fisch. ex Hoffmann (1814: 180).[6] Tojibaev K.Sh. 2020 agreed.[3]
