Etymology

Aeonium comes from the Greek word aionios meaning 'eternal' or 'long-lasting', and you can see the same root in the English word eon for a very long time. That's why Aeonium is a good name for these succulents: their tight circles of thick leaves often last and look fresh for many years.
