شقائق النعمان
Arabic
editEtymology
editAccording to Arabic tradition it is the name of King nuʕmān ibn-al-munḏir of al-Ḥīra who patronized the flower, but this has been recognized after Lagarde as impossible, rather شَقِيقَة (šaqīqa) would be a cranberry morpheme from the root ش ق ق (š-q-q) meaning something like “gash, wound” and the second name equal the Biblical figure נַעֲמָן (naʕămān) as a byname of Adonis like נַעֲמָה (naʕămā) of Astarte, for in Jes. 17, 10 נִטְעֵי נַעֲמָנִים (niṭʕē naʕămānīm, “Gardens of Adonis”) were dedicated to the lover of Ishtar.
