 Some scholars believe that the name "carnation" comes from "coronation" or "corone" (flower garlands), as it was one of the flowers used in Greek ceremonial crowns. Others think the name stems from the Latin "caro" (genitive "carnis") (flesh), which refers to the original colour of the flower, or incarnatio (incarnation), which refers to the incarnation of God made flesh.

			Dianthus Caryophyllus, Linn. Carnation. Clove Pink. Picotee. Grenadine. Cespitose, glabrous, 1-3 ft., the sts. hard or almost woody below, the nodes or joints conspicuous: lvs. thick, long-linear, very glaucous, keeled, 5-nerved, stiffish at the ends: fls. mostly solitary, showy, very fragrant, rose, purple or white; calyx-bracts 4, very broad, abruptly pointed. B.M. 39 (Bizarre Carnation); 1622 (var. imbricatus); 2744 (Picotees).—Generally supposed to be native to the Medit. region, but Williams gives its geographical limits as "north and west Normandy" and "south and east Punjaub" (northwestern Hindoostan). In Eu. it is largely grown as an outdoor pink, but in this country it is chiefly known as the greenhouse carnation. The American forcing type (which may be called var. longicaulis) is distinguished by very long stems and a continuous blooming habit; it is here the carnation of commerce. Garden varieties of D. Caryophyllus are numberless, and they often pass under Latinized names (D. punctatus, Hort., is one of these names). See Carnation. The carnation has been long in cult. The bloom is now very variable in size, form and color; originally probably pale lilac. Fragrant.

Some scholars believe that the name "carnation" comes from "coronation" or "corone" (flower garlands), as it was one of the flowers used in Greek ceremonial crowns. Others think the name stems from the Latin "caro" (genitive "carnis") (flesh), which refers to the original colour of the flower, or incarnatio (incarnation), which refers to the incarnation of God made flesh.

Although originally applied to the species ''Dianthus caryophyllus'', the name Carnation is also often applied to some of the other species of ''[[Dianthus]]'', and more particularly to garden [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]]s between ''D. caryophyllus'' and other species in the genus.
