The genus name of Takhtajaniella is in honour of Armen Takhtajan (1910–2009), a Soviet-Armenian botanist, who was one of the most important figures in 20th century plant evolution and systematics and biogeography.[3] The Latin specific epithet of globosa means globe or globe-like from globulus.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in S.G.Zhilin, Sist. Zvol. Vyssh. Rast. on page 54 in 1980.[1][2]
