The genus name of Moquinia is in honour of Alfred Moquin-Tandon (1804–1863), a French naturalist and doctor.[5] It was first described and published in Prodr. Vol.7 (Issue 1) on page 22 in 1838.[6]

Over 40 species names have been described in the genus, but nearly all of them have been transferred to other genera (Barrosoa Gochnatia Guayania Inula Llerasia Piptocarpha Pseudostifftia). Two remain in Moquinia.[1]
