"Nepenthes eymae" was formally described by Shigeo Kurata in a 1984 issue of "The Journal of Insectivorous Plant Society". The holotype, designated as "Kurata, Atsumi &amp; Komatsu 102a", was collected on the northern spur of Mount Lumut in Central Sulawesi, at an altitude of 1850 m, on November 5, 1983. A series of isotypes ("Kurata, Atsumi &amp; Komatsu 103", "104", and "105") was also listed by Kurata. The repository of these four specimens is not indicated in the type description and they have not been located, but if they were deposited in a public institution this is likely to have been the herbarium of the Nippon Dental College (NDC). Despite this, the species name is valid per Article 37 of the "International Code of Botanical Nomenclature", and Kurata's description includes an illustration of the holotype on page 44. Kurata published the species with the specific epithet "eymai", honouring Pierre Joseph Eyma. Other authors later noted that although Eyma was male, the name is feminine, and so the epithet was emended to "eymae".
