Etymology

The term 'frangipani' has its origins in the 17th century, named after an Italian nobleman, Giulio Frangipani, who developed a scent often made from the flowers. The plant has been used in various cultures for its beauty and fragrance, especially in tropical areas. Frangipani belongs to the genus Plumeria, which shares its name with Charles Plumier, a French botanist who first described the plant in the 18th century. The flowers are culturally significant in many places, symbolizing different meanings such as love, beauty, and immortality in places like Hawaii and Bali. As a result of extensive cultivation and selective breeding, several species and hybrid varieties of frangipani exist today, each showcasing a different color and scent profile, making the flower widely popular among gardeners and florists in tropical regions.
