Theobromine is derived from Theobroma, the name of the genus of the cacao tree, with the suffix -ine given to alkaloids and other basic nitrogen-containing compounds.That name in turn is made up of the Greek roots theo ("god") and broma ("food"), meaning "food of the gods".

Despite its name, the compound contains no bromine, which is based on Greek bromos ("stench").
