Meaning & History

From Old French plante genest, from Latin planta genesta "sprig of broom", which was originally a sobriquet from the dynasty's founder, Geoffrey V (1113-1151), who wore a yellow broom blossom in his hat, that Richard of York (1411-1460) adopted as a surname. This was the name of a royal house that originated from the French county of Anjou.
