The genus name of Koordersiodendron is in honour of Sijfert Hendrik Koorders (1863–1919), Dutch-Indonesian botanist and mycologist in Bogor, and herbarium director beginning in 1903.[4] It has the following synonyms; Kokkia Zipp. ex Blume and Koordersina Kuntze.[2] The Latin specific epithet of the species, pinnatum is derived from pinnatus meaning feathered.[5] The genus was first described and published in Meded. Lands Plantentuin Vol.19 on page 410 in 1898,[2] and the species was first described and published in Bull. Bur. Forest. Philipp. Islands Vol.1 on page 33 in 1903.[3]
