Strawberries are a member of the Rosaceae (Rose) family. The botanical name of strawberries is Frugaria, which in Latin means 'fragrance.' Origins of the common name include the reference to 'straw' used in mulching the plants. Children in London collected the berries, strung them on pieces of straw and sold them in the markets as "Straws of Berries." Narragansett Indians in North America called the fruit "wuttahimneash" or "heart berry."
