Originally described as Cactus latispinus in 1824 by English naturalist Adrian Hardy Haworth, it gained its current name in 1922 with the erection of the genus Ferocactus by American botanists Britton and Rose. The species name is derived from the Latin latus "broad", and spinus "spine". Two subspecies are recognised, differing in their number of radial spines - 9-15 for subspecies latispinus and 5-7 for spiralis. Subspecies latispinus is commonly known as Devil's Tongue Barrel or Crow's Claw Cactus. Ferocactus recurvus is a rejected name for the species.
