The genus name is named after Duke Paul Wilhelm of Württemberg, a German botanist and patron of botany who travelled to the Americas under the alias of Baron of Hohenberg.[2] This genus has two recognized subgenera: the type subgenus and Wittmackiopsis Mez. Recent DNA studies have shown the two subgenera are not monophyletic, and the species of subg. Wittmackiopsis have been transferred to the resurrected genus Wittmackia.
