A flowering plant, though the specific botanical identification varies by region and may refer to different species.
Compound of 'beth' (possibly from Bethlehem or a plant-naming convention) plus 'flower,' though the exact origin of the 'beth' component is unclear and may be dialectal or regional.
Many plant names include biblical place names (like Bethlehem stars, forget-me-nots called 'forget-me-not Bethels'), and these names were often given by early Christian herbalists who saw spiritual significance in flowers.
