The genus name of Maguireocharis is in honour of Bassett Maguire (1904–1991), an American botanist, head curator of the New York Botanical Garden, and a leader of scientific expeditions to the Guyana Highlands in Brazil and Venezuela.[3] The Latin specific epithet of neblinae refers to Sierra de la Neblina a sandstone Massif in Venezuela. In 1954,Bassett Maguire discovered the botanically rich Cerro de la Neblina (or "Mountain of the Clouds").[4]

Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. Vol.23 on page 230 in 1972.[2]
