Etymology

Armeria can be linked to the Latin root arma, which means 'weapons' or 'arms'. Think of words like armor and Spanish armería, and imagine the plant's tight, round flower heads as little studs on armor — that image helps you remember why the name fits these low, clump-forming, thrift-like plants.
