The genus name of Neonelsonia is in honour of Edward William Nelson (1855–1934), an American naturalist and ethnologist.[5] The Latin specific epithet of acuminata is derived from acuminatus meaning tapering.[6] The genus was first described and published in 1895.[1] The species was first described as Arracacia acuminata in 1845, and transferred to Neonelsonia in 1898.[2]
