Meaning & History

From the name of the daisy-like flower, derived from the Latinized form of Ancient Greek χρῡσάνθεμον (khrusanthemon) meaning "gold flower", composed of χρῡσός (chrysos) "gold" and ἄνθεμον (anthemon) "flower". Compare Chrysanthos, composed of the same words and meaning, albeit worded differently.

This name has been in occasional use from the 19th century onwards, making it one of the many Victorian flower names.
