This name derives from the Ancient Greek “marmaírō (μᾰρμαίρω) amarússō (ᾰ̓μᾰρῠìσσω),” meaning “sparkle, shine, flash, glisten, gleam (especially of metal).” In Roman literature, Amaryllis was a stock female character, a natural, pretty young woman who was usually a shepherdess.

The better known of the two, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of the Western Cape region of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest area between the river Olifants valley to Knysna.
