A genus of large evergreen coniferous trees, including cedar of Lebanon, valued for their fragrant durable wood and aromatic properties.
From Latin 'cedrus,' from Greek 'kedros,' an ancient word for cedar trees; one of the oldest tree names in European languages.
Cedrus is literally the scientific name for true cedars—the same genus that provided the famous Cedars of Lebanon mentioned in biblical texts and used in ancient temple building!
