This species of chamomile is also called German chamomile to distinguish it from another plant known as English or Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile syn. Anthemis nobilis). Although the two are different species of plants, they both belong to the daisy family and have similar properties.

Other common names for German chamomile include Hungarian chamomile or blue chamomile, the latter being a reference to the blue oil produced by steam distillation of the flowers. The plant is native to Europe and northern Asia, and is commercially cultivated in France, Egypt and Hungary.
