The word ''chia'' is derived from the Aztec word ''chian'', meaning oily{{ref_label|Sahagun69|1|a}}.  The present Mexican state of Chiapas got its name from the [[Nahuatl language|Nahua]] "chia water or river".  The species was named ''hispanica'' ("of Spain") because Linnaeus described the species from cultivated plants in Spain.
