This spyridium was first formally described in 1837 by Eduard Fenzl who gave it the name Trymalium majoranifolium in Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel from specimens collected by Ferdinand Bauer.[3][4] In 1995, Barbara Lynette Rye changed the name to Spyridium majoranifolium in the journal Nuytsia.[5][6] The specific epithet (majoranifolium) means "marjoram-leaved".[7]
