The name Sempervivum has its origin in the Latin semper ("always") and vivus ("living") because this perennial plant keeps its leaves in winter and is very resistant to difficult conditions of growth. Other common names reflect the plant's ancient association with Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and the Roman Jupiter, hence names such as "Jupiter's beard" and the German Donnerbart ("thunder beard").
