It was in ancient times a law existed to always have this yellow flower in your garden for many uses as well as currency. Israelites, Greeks, Arabs, and Romans used it as a trading currency. The Romans would try to prohibit Jewish people from growing the plant because of its value but the Sehedrian made it a Jewish law and a mitzvah to grow it. So the Romans tolerated the law.
There is even a text stating it was also used as a tithe to the Temple “For you will tithe mint and rutah and all manner of herbs”. Yob (Job) was said to use this herb along with Inula Viscosa which was as valuable as Balm of Gilead.
Una Matica de Ruda” is a traditional Sephardic wedding song. Ruda, Ruta, is often used as a female name meaning “friend. Also, the root of Ruth is predominantly a girl name of Hebrew origin, meaning “friend,” “friendship,” or “compassionate friend.”
The name is the central character in the Book of Ruth in the Bible/Tanach, which is one of only two books named after a woman. The Biblical Ruth was an ancestor of King David and the daughter-in-law of Naomi. After the death of her husband, Ruth accompanied her mother-in-law back to Bethlehem when she famously spoke the words, “Where you go, I will go.” (Ruth 1:16) And she did so without regret. The flower Rutah-Rue is associated with Ruth because it also means “without regret”.
