  • The vernacular name "daisy", widely applied to members of this family, is derived from the Old English name of the daisy ("Bellis perennis"): [...] , meaning "day's eye".
  • ", possibly influenced by Old English " [...] ", probably also from Latin "Brittania", ultimately an adaptation of the native word for the island, "*Pritanī".
  • The "Þiðrekssaga" tells that the warrior Heime ("Háma" in Old English) takes sides against Ermanaric ("Eormanric"), king of the Goths, and has to flee his kingdom after robbing him; later in life, Hama enters a monastery and gives them all his stolen treasure.
  • ("antíphōna") via Old English [...]. Both words originally referred to antiphons, a call-and-response style of singing.
