The genus name derives from the name of the city of Paphos, in Cyprus, dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite (also known as Paphia), where legend says she was born from the sea foam, combined with the word pedilon (ancient Greek), meaning sandal or slipper. The name of the orchids in this genus, in Romanian, namely Venus's Slipper, is a translation of the scientific name. Although there are no Paphiopedilum species in Cyprus, or even in Europe, for a long time they were associated with species of the genus Cypripedium, which are present in the Mediterranean area, including the rest of Europe, as well as in Romania, where the species Cypripedium calceolus (Lady's Slipper) is present and registered with the status of Natural Monument. The true Paphiopedilum species, present in the horticultural trade and forming the basis of most hybrids available today, originate from East Asia.
