Etymology
Corn salad is the name often used in the United States since this green tends to grow wild in many American cornfields.

Lamb’s lettuce is an old English name: this green first appears in spring during lambing season and is a lamb’s favorite food and each leaf looks a bit like a lamb’s tongue.

Talking about Mâche
