Named by botanists after a person (Duchesne), following the Linnaean convention of naming plant genera after notable naturalists or botanists.
Duchesnea was named after a botanist but became famous as 'mock strawberry'—it's a plant that tricks people into thinking they've found wild strawberries, only to taste disappointment!
