Where does the word marigold come from?

The word "marigold" has a rich history! The term "marigold" comes from the Latin name "calendula," which refers to the bright yellow and orange flowers of the Calendula officinalis species. In the 15th century, the flowers were brought to England and were used as a symbol of warmth, joy, and longevity. The name "marigold" is believed to have originated from the phrase "Mary's gold," as the flowers were dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Over time, the name evolved into "marigold," and today, it's commonly used to refer to any member of the Calendula genus of herbs.
