The word 'tilia' originates from the Latin word for linden trees, which have been highly valued since ancient times for their wood, flowers, and foliage. The cultivation of Tilia can be traced back to various cultures, including the Greeks and Romans, who used the trees for a variety of purposes including medicinal applications. Over time, the name 'tilia' has been adopted in various languages to refer to members of this genus. Tilia trees hold cultural significance in several regions, often symbolizing peace and protection.
