The name "Forget-me-not" was borrowed from Old French
"ne m'oubliez pas" which was translated from German
"Vergissmeinnicht". Loans and translations of it can be found
in most European languages, like Danish "forglem-mig-ej",
Swedish "forgatmigej", Romanian "nu ma uita",
Hungarian "nefelejcs", Czech "pomnenka",
Slovak "nezabudka", Polish "niezapominajka",
Italian "nontiscordardime", Spanish "nomeolvides", etc.
In the 15th century Germany, it was supposed that
the wearers of the flower will not be forgotten by their
lovers. Under the Second World War the freemasons
of Germany (who also were sent to concentration camps)
used the flower to secretly identify themselves to each other.
Legend has it that in medieval times, a knight and his lady
where walking along the side of a river. He picked a posy
of flowers, but because of the weight of his armor he
fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy
to his loved one and shouted "Forget-me-not".
This is a flower connected with romance and tragic fate.
It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness
and enduring love.
