[[Image:Floral diagram Geranium.jpg|thumb|Floral diagram of a ''Geranium'' garden hybrid called ‘Ann Thomson’, showing 5 free sepals, 5 free petals, 10 free fertile stamens, and a superior ovary consisting of 5 merged carpels, with 5 style branches]]

The genus name is derived from [[Ancient Greek]] {{lang|grc|γέρανος}} (''géranos'') '[[Crane (bird)|crane]]'. The English name 'cranesbill' derives from the resemblance of the [[fruit capsule]] of some of the species to a crane's head and bill. The [[Ovary (botany)|ovary]] portion forms the head and the prolonged [[Stigma (botany)|stigma]] creates the appearance of a beak.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Taylor|first=Ronald J.|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25708726|title=Sagebrush Country: A Wildflower Sanctuary|publisher=Mountain Press Pub.
