The name Euonymeia is documented in the Ethnica (), the gazetteer by 6th century CE scholar Stephanus of Byzantium, considered the earliest authoritative work on Mediterranean toponyms. Therein, Stephanus attributes the name to Euonymus of Greek Mythology –son of Gaia with either Uranus or Cephissus. The name itself derives from the Greek root-words eû () "good, well", and onoma () "name". Alternative interpretations for the origin of the name are that it is a direct reference to the area being "well named" or "of good repute", or that it comes from the spindle tree Euonymus europaeus.

Both the spindle tree (Euonymus spp.) and Ilex macropoda are used for the colour white; aged wood from the tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) for is used for black; Picrasma quassioides, mulberry (Morus alba) and the Chinese lacquer tree (Toxicodendron vernicifluum) are used for yellow; the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) and Maackia are used for brown, black walnut (Juglans nigra) for purple, the Japanese cucumber tree (Magnolia obovata) for blue and Chinese cedar (Toona sinensis) for red. The rods are glued together to form the sections of geometrical patterns, often called a seed plate. The seed plate is then either sliced into thin layers (in the technique), which are thenbglued onto boxes and other handicraft works. Alternatively, the entire plate can be carved out (in the technique) to create a single piece.
