Forgive Me Not
Sorry for the title, I can't correct it any more.
It has been interesting to realize that one small flower has similar names in English and Russian. It's a Forget Me Not flower. Its name has almost the same meaning in Russian - one that doesn't forget.
I noticed some similarities before. Like a Bluebell in English and a little bell in Russian. It is quite understandable, because it has a shape of the bell.

Not everywhere, not even amongst Indo-European languages :) I just checked, in Irish forget-me-not is called lus míonla. If I understand correctly, it means something like "gentle herb".

In Spanish, " nomeolvides". Same meaning

In polish we call this flower "niezapominajka" what can be literally translated as "unforgettable" ;)

It's the same in a couple of languages, so is in Hungarian:nefelejcs. It lacks the object though.
Bluebell is similar too, meaning' bell flower'.
