The name in English is dandelion, from the French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth". Where I grew up, we call it soffione, from the Italian word "soffio" meaning blow. Because that was the game when we were kids. To blow it so all those white things would fly in the air, and we would be left in awe. Imagining how far they would go, what they will see in their journey.
