It has been said that strawberries are named because they can be mulched with straw to keep them moist and to keep the berries clean. While this can be done the name ‘strawberry’ was around before thier cultivation. It may be a change in the word from ‘strayberries’ in refrence to thier runners straying from the mother plant. Thier is also the possibility that the word ‘streow’ or hay from the berries ripening at the same time the hay was harvested. from USDA history of the strawberry.
