the name "lovage" is from "love-ache", ache being a medieval name for parsley; this is a folk-etymological corruption of the older french name levesche, from late latin levisticum, in turn thought to be a corruption of the earlier latin ligusticum, 'of liguria' (northwest italy), where the herb was grown extensively.
