The etymology of the name Peony can be traced back to the Greek god Paeon, who was a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Greek myth says that Paeon was transformed into a peony by Zeus as a protection against the wrath of his teacher. In this way, peonies have a protective symbology and are part of a larger story about healing and medicine.
