The genus was circumscribed by Paul Christoph Hennings in 1893.

The genus name of Schenckiella is in honour of Johann Heinrich Rudolf Schenck (1860–1927), who was a German botanist and native of Siegen. He was a brother to geographer Adolf Schenck (1857–1936).{{cite book | last=Burkhardt | first=Lotte | title=Eine Enzyklopädie zu eponymischen Pflanzennamen |trans-title=Encyclopedia of eponymic plant names | publisher=Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin | year=2022 | isbn=978-3-946292-41-8 | url=https://doi.org/10.3372/epolist2022|format=pdf |language=German |location=Berlin | doi=10.3372/epolist2022 |access-date=January 27, 2022}}
