This plant is also known by several synonyms such as "wild teasel", "fuller's teasel", "card teasel", and "trembling teasel". The term "teasel" is derived from the Old English word "tǣsel" which means "a kind of grass".

The common teasel remains a popular plant for ornamental gardens, but its invasive nature means it should be carefully managed.
