Derivation of the botanical name:
Antirrhinum, from Greek anti (αντι), "like," and rhis (ριϛ, ινοϛ), "nose", inus (-ινοϛ), probably referring to the nose-like capsule in its mature state.
siculum, Siculus, of or pertaining to Sicily, Sicilian.
The standard author abbreviation Mill. is used to indicate Philip Miller (1691–1771), a botanist of Scottish descent.
