In [[Sweden]] and [[Norway]], it is called ''[[Balder]]'s brow'', but in [[Iceland]], it is the close relative [[Sea Mayweed]] (''Matricaria maritima'') that carries this name<ref>[http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/astera/tripl/tripper.html Den virtuella floran (in Swedish)]</ref>. In ''[[Gylfaginning]]'', [[Snorri Sturluson]] explains that the name Balder's brow comes from the plants' whiteness:

Fields, Eu. and N. Asia; run wild in E. U. S.—Very similar in appearance to Anthemis Cotula, but lacks the scales between the central florets and has a different odor. The name chamomile, or sometimes spelled camomile, is applied both in Matricaria and Anthemis.
