The Sanskrit name of aloe vera is Ghrat-kumari.

The word Kumari is used gor unmarried women or young women &

Ghrat means clarified butter.

In Ayurveda, Ghrata is considered Giver of longevity.

I think because of the wide uses of aloe vera in women's health, Yogis used to called it Ghratkumari. In India, some of Ayurveda doctors use to say this is a plant that remains you always young.
