Its native range is the Russian Far East (within the federal subjects of Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Magadan, Primorye and Sakhalin including the Kuril Islands) to Japan and the Aleutian Islands.[1]

The genus name of Sieversia is in honour of Johann August Carl Sievers (1762–1795), a German-born botanist who explored Central Asia, Siberia, and other Asian regions of the Russian Empire.[4] It was first described and published in Mag. Neuesten Entdeck. Gesammten Naturk. Ges. Naturf. Freunde Berlin Vol.5 on page 397 in 1811.[1]
