The genus name of Englerodendron is in honour of Adolf Engler (1844–1930), a German botanist, [5] and also; Dendron , a Greek word meaning "tree". It was first published and described in Bot. Jahrb. Syst. Vol.40 on page 27 in 1907. [4]

A recent study indicates that an early Miocene (Aquitanian) tropical moist forest from Ethiopia may represent a monodominant forest dominated by a prehistoric species of Englerodendron, Englerodendron mulugetanum. [6]
