Sinningia aggregata was first published (as Gesneria aggregata) in 1818 by John Bellenden Ker-Gawler (1764-1842). It was later a Corytholoma (1848) and a Rechsteineria (1891). Hans Wiehler transferred it to Sinningia in 1975.
Etymology: Latin aggregata ("assembled"), from greg- (nom. sing. grex), "crowd".
