The generic name Stenomesson references the floral morphology. It is composed of the Greek words stenos, meaning narrow, and meso, meaning "in the middle".[9]
Numerous names have been coined using the name Stenomesson referring to species now regarded as better suited to other genera (Clinanthus, Eucrosia, Ismene and Urceolina).
