Etymology

Sanvitalia is a scientific plant name made from an Italian personal name, probably Sanvitali, plus the common plant ending -ia. A helpful way to remember it is that -ia often marks a plant 'of' someone, so Sanvitalia is the small garden flower 'of' Sanvitali and is used as the name for this lively ground-cover plant.
