The genus name of Soejatmia is in honour of Soejatmi Dransfield (b. 1939), an Indonesia-born British plant taxonomist specializing in bamboos and also honorary research fellow at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.[3] The Latin specific epithet of ridleyi refers to Henry Nicholas Ridley (1855 – 1956), was an English botanist, geologist and naturalist who lived much of his life in Singapore.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Kew Bull. Vol.48 on pages 530-532 in 1993.[1][2]

The genus is recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service, but they do not list any known species.[5]
