The sunflower gets its name from the Greek words helios meaning “sun”, and anthos, meaning “flower” The name also refers to the flower’s appearance, which resembles the sun with its round flower heads and ligules.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer. Have you watched the sunflower during the day. I really found this fascinating. What I observed is they always face the direction of the sun.So I thought that could be the reason they are called sunflower. I guess I am wrong.
