"In the Middle Ages, Christians directly linked it to the Virgin Mary, giving it the name "Our Lady's Modesty."

The list of names for Viola odorata in Post #1,236 doesn't seem to make much use of any Christian onomatology that would be similar to "Our Lady's Modesty" in any language. I find only one reference [page 169, #11] regarding "Oloron Sainte-Marie" - which is the name of a commune.
