The Tale
The name Rosmarinus comes from the Latin ros maris or ‘dew of the sea’.
It was later called Rose of Mary or rosemary in honor of the Virgin Mary.
Rosemary water is often called ‘Queen of Hungary Water’ since it is said that Elizabeth of Poland, one of the Queens of Hungary was the first to introduce perfume, hers a rosemary-infused alcoholate, to the 14th courts in Hungary.
And one can imagine that life was much more pleasant in the court thereafter.
