The northern parula was [[Species description|formally described]] in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist [[Carl Linnaeus]] in the [[10th edition of Systema Naturae|tenth edition]] of his ''[[Systema Naturae]]''. He placed it with the tits in the [[genus]] ''[[Parus]]'' and coined the [[binomial name]] ''Parus americanus''.<ref>{{cite book | last=Linnaeus | first=Carl | author-link=Carl Linnaeus | year=1758 | title= Systema Naturae per regna tria naturae, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis | volume=1 | edition=10th | page=190 | publisher=Laurentii Salvii | location=Holmiae (Stockholm) | language=Latin | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/727099 }}</ref> Linnaeus based his account on "The Finch-Creeper" that had been described and illustrated in 1731 by the English naturalist [[Mark Catesby]] in his book ''The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands''.<ref>{{ cite book | last=Catesby  | first=Mark | author-link=Mark Catesby | year=1729–1732 | title=The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands | volume=1 | location=London | publisher=W.

The genus name ''Setophaga'' is from [[Ancient Greek]] ''ses'', "moth", and ''{{lang|grc-Latn|phagos}}'', "eating", and the specific  ''americana'' is Latin for "American".<ref name =job>{{cite book | last= Jobling | first= James A. | year= 2010| title= The Helm Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names | url= https://archive.org/details/Helm_Dictionary_of_Scientific_Bird_Names_by_James_A._Jobling | publisher=Christopher Helm | location = London, United Kingdom | isbn = 978-1-4081-2501-4 | pages =[https://archive.org/details/Helm_Dictionary_of_Scientific_Bird_Names_by_James_A._Jobling/page/n44 44], 355 }}</ref> The common name "Parula" ultimately derives from [[Latin]] ''parrula'', [[Tit (bird)]].<ref name=OED>{{Cite OED|term=Parula|access-date=6 December 2020}}</ref>
