Helianthus (hee-li-an-thus) annuus (an-ew-us/an-us)

Helios: Greek for 'sun'

Anthemon: Greek for 'flower'

Therefore helianthus literally means 'sunflower'

Annus: Latin for year, referring to the annual nature of sunflower (germinates and dies once a year)

Therefore the scientific name for sunflower is literally 'annual sun-flower'
