The genus name of Grazielodendron is in honour of Graziela Maciel Barroso (1912–2003), a Brazilian botanist,[6] and also "'dendron" (δένδρον) which is the Greek word for "tree".[7] The Latin specific epithet of riodocensis refers Rio Doce or Doce River in Brazil.[8] Grazielodendron riodocensis was first described and published in Bradea Vol.3 on page 401 in 1983.[5]
