Reply:Shamrock is the English form of the Irish word seamrog which literally translated means 'little clover' or 'young clover' (the Irish word is a compound formed from seamair (= clover) and og (= young or small). Shamrock was first clearly used as a plant name by the English herbalist, John Gerard, in 1596 when he wrote that meadow trefoils are called Shamrockes.
