词源

Originally a sobriquet of Geoffrey of Anjou (1113-1151), founder of the line, who was said to have worn a yellow broom blossom in his hat, Old French plante genest (French plante genêt), from Latin planta genista (“sprig of broom”), whence Medieval Latin Plantagenistae; subsequently adopted as a surname.
