Etymology

Gazania comes from the name of a Greek scholar, Gazānus, also called Theodorus Gaza, and botanists used his name when they gave a name to the plant. So Gazania now means a bright, daisy-like flower from southern Africa, and thinking of the scholar's name can help you picture the showy plant.
