Derivation of the botanical name:
Adiantum, adianton, αδιαντον, "unwettable", maiden's hair plant. The leaflets shed water, if plunged into water the fronds remain dry.
capillus-veneris, capillus, "the hair"; veneris, generative of venus, Venus goddess of love.
- The standard author abbreviation L. is used to indicate Carl Linnaeus (1707 – 1778), a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, the father of modern taxonomy.
