The common name "Frangipani" comes from a sixteenth-century Italian noble family, a marquess of which invented a plumeria-scented perfume.
The genus, originally spelled Plumiera, is named in honor of the seventeenth-century French botanist Charles Plumier, who traveled to the New World documenting many plant and animal species. Now Plumeria include 7 species: Plumeria alba, Plumeria inodora, Plumeria obtusa, Plumeria pudica, Plumeria rubra, Plumeria stenopetala, Plumeria stenophylla.
