Etymology
Gazania takes its name from a botanist called Gazan, so the plant keeps that person's name. A helpful way to remember gazania is to think of the word 'gaze' because the bright, daisy-like flowers seem to invite you to look at them in the sun, which is why the name now means a colorful garden plant.
