Manganogrunerite was the official name for this composition until the 2012 nomenclature report established a set of guidelines for establishing amphibole root-names. The then manganogrunerite qualified as a separate rootname together with the then manganocummingtonite. Oberti et al. (2017) established clino-suenoite and clino-ferro-suenoite as the names for manganocummingtonite and manganogrunerite, respectively.
