Trefoil cookies are named after their shape. Trefoil means a shape made from three overlapping rings. The trefoil cookie uses the three overlapping Girl Scouts silhouettes to make a somewhat round design.

By 1951, Girl Scouts (GSUSA) were selling three varieties of cookies, including a cookie called Shortbread. At some point, one of the cookie bakers named gave the name "Trefoil" to their shortbread cookie. Currently, ABC Bakers uses the name "Shortbread" and Little Brownie Bakers uses the name "Trefoils".
