Etymology of Cunonia:
For Johann (Joan, Johannes) Christian Cuno (1708–1780), German poet, botanist and merchant. He was conscripted into military service in 1724 and only left the army in 1740 during which time he travelled to Croatia, Slavonia, Hungary and Italy as a recruiting officer. In 1741, he met and married a widow Völkers whose husband had been a merchant. He developed this business and settled in Amsterdam, and also created a botanical garden and grew exotic plants. Cuno wrote poetry and also translated Dutch poetry into German. He wrote a poem about his garden Ode über seinen Garten (1749) to which David Sigismundus Augustus Büttner (1724–1768), professor of medicine and botany at the Collegium medico-chirurgicum, Berlin added a species list. Cuno corresponded with Linnaeus who named the genus after him.
Etymology of capensis:
