The very name “saffron” carries a rich history, tracing its roots back through Latin (“safranum”) and Old French (“safran”) to the Arabic “za’farān.” Ultimately, it originates from the Persian word “zarparān,” beautifully meaning “golden leaves,” a testament to the precious nature and color of this spice.

Interestingly, the Latin term “crocus” also has ancient linguistic connections, likely stemming from Semitic languages through Aramaic and Arabic, eventually becoming the Greek “krokos,” which signifies “yellowish,” further highlighting the characteristic color of saffron.
