The Hallstein Doctrine was named after [[Walter Hallstein]], then "state secretary" (the top civil servant) at the [[German Foreign Office]], though largely devised and implemented by the head of the political department of the [[German Foreign Office]], [[Wilhelm Grewe]].<ref name="Jaenicke"/>

At the time the Hallstein Doctrine was born (or at least named), [[Heinrich von Brentano]] was the foreign minister, a post that had been recently created, after West Germany largely regained its sovereignty in 1955—before this, political responsibility for foreign policy had been retained by the chancellor, [[Konrad Adenauer]]. Brentano is also known to have referred to the policy, or a variation of it as the Brentano Doctrine.<ref name="KilianW_2001"/>{{Rp|25}}

Some time later, in 1958, journalists named the policy ''the Hallstein–Grewe Doctrine'', and this later became shortened to ''the Hallstein Doctrine''.<ref name="Gray 2003"/>{{Rp|84}} Grewe himself writes that he devised the broad outlines of the policy, but mainly as one of a number of options, the decisions being made by the foreign minister, Brentano, and the chancellor, Adenauer; in any case, the name Hallstein doctrine may be something of a misnomer.<ref name="Grewe_1995"/>{{Rp|59}}
