The name Daphne means "Laurel" in Greek. It is derived from the nymph {{wplink|Daphne}} in Greek mythology, who was pursued by the god Apollo. She prayed to her father, the river god Peneus, to change her body in order to escape the love-struck Apollo and Peneus then transformed her into the laurel tree, which Apollo then claimed as one of his sacred symbols. In Ancient Greece, a wreath of laurels was given as a prize and considered a symbol of prosperity, fame and victory.<ref>{{wikilink|Bay Laurel}}</ref> |
