The generic name Trochodendron, derived from the Greek trochus, a wheel and dendron, a tree, literally means wheel-tree from the manner in which the stamens radiate like the spokes of a wheel, as well as the spreading leaves on the branches. As for the specific epithet, it is named for its resemblance, -oides, to the genus Aralia, probably for its habit and inflorescence (Walker 1976).
