Ginger belongs to the Zingiberaceae tribe (findings). The scientific name for ginger is given by William Roxburgh from the Greek word zingiberi, from Sanskrit, singaberi
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.) Is a type of plant that belongs to the Zingiberaceae tribe. The name Zingiber is derived from the Sanskrit "singabera" (Rosengarten 1973) and Greek "Zingiberi" (Purseglove et al. 1981) which means horn, because the shape of the ginger rhizome is similar to that of a deer antler. Officinale is Latin (officina) which means it is used in pharmacy or medicine (Janson 1981).
Ginger is known by the common name (English) ginger or garden ginger. The name ginger comes from French: gingembre, old English: gingifere, Latin: ginginer, Greek (Greek): zingiberis (ζιγγίβερις). However, the original word from zingiber comes from the Tamil inji ver. The botanical term for the root in Tamil is ver, so the root of inji is inji ver.
