The genus name of ''Rochelia'' is in honour of [[Anton Rochel]] (1770–1847), an Austrian surgeon and naturalist, known for his botanical investigations of [[Banat]] and the [[Carpathians]] (Mountains).<ref>{{cite book | last=Burkhardt | first=Lotte | title=Verzeichnis eponymischer Pflanzennamen – Erweiterte Edition |trans-title=Index of Eponymic Plant Names – Extended Edition | publisher=Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin | year=2018 | isbn=978-3-946292-26-5 | url=https://doi.org/10.3372/epolist2018 |format=pdf |language=German |location=Berlin | doi=10.3372/epolist2018 | s2cid=187926901 |access-date=1 January 2021}}</ref> It was first described and published in Flora Vol.7 on page 243 in 1824.<ref name="POWO"/>
The genus is recognized by the [[United States Department of Agriculture]] and the [[Agricultural Research Service]] and was last updated on
31 July 2018, but they only list 2 species; ''Rochelia disperma'' {{small|(L. f.) K. Koch}} and ''Rochelia stylaris'' {{small|Boiss.}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Species of ''Rochelia'' Rchb.|url=https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxon/taxonomygenus?id=10509&type=genus |website=npgsweb.ars-grin.gov |access-date=29 November 2021}}</ref>
It was found by [[DNA]] analysis, that ''Rochelia'' is not [[monophyletic]] but [[Paraphyly|paraphyletic]] (has more than one common ancestor).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Khoshsokhan |first1=M. |last2=Kazempour Osaloo |first2=S. |last3=Saadatmand |first3=S. |last4=Attar |first4=F. |title=Molecular phylogeny of Rochelia (Boraginaceae) based on nrDNA ITS and cpDNA trnL-F sequences |journal=Iran.
