Etymology
Andromeda comes from the name of a Greek princess; her name is made of andr- 'man' and -meda 'ruler', so it means 'ruler of men'. A helpful way to remember the shrub is to picture its glossy leaves and white flower clusters as the princess's bright crown, which is why gardeners gave this evergreen that famous name.
