The spathiphyllum is used all over the world as a gift plant, even in its lands of origin: in Costa Rica, where it grows spontaneously, it is brought as a gift to women waiting to give birth because it is considered capable of defending against pain and protecting against trouble.

The name, from the Greek then also used in ancient Latin, means "leaves in the shape of a sword" .

In the British world, although it is not a lily, it is called "peace lily" .
