The origin of the name of snowdrop

At first glance, the name "Snowdrop Flower" sounds like it is describing a flower that looks like a snowdrop, but this is not the case.

The name of snowdrop can be seen in some German documents in the 17th century. The reason why the snowdrop is called snowdrop has nothing to do with the fact that it blooms in snowy weather. It is because at that time, a new type of earring that was popular in Germany was in the shape of a teardrop, which was very similar to the shape of a snowdrop, so it was called snowdrop. Now, based on the English explanation of Snowdrop, people think that the shape of Snowdrop is like snow drops, which is actually a misunderstanding. But it's also very interesting.
