In Ancient Greece, the love story of Aphrodite and Adonis is one of the most renowned romances. It is said that the gods feuded for the love of Aphrodite, and the goddesses for the love of Adonis. One day, Adonis was tragically gored to death by a wild boar. It is said that the boar was either sent by Artemis -- a rival goddess of Aphrodite whose anger with Adonis' hunting skills overwhelmed her, or by Ares, Aphrodite's paramour. Another myth is that Apollo sent the boar to punish Aphrodite for causing blindness in his son. Whatever the case, Aphrodite was overcome with grief after Adonis' untimely demise. She grew red roses and anemones wherever his blood fell to ensure that his beauty would remain.

The name comes from the idea that women who commit “social suicide” by being different come together.
