The classic heart shape is recognized around the world as a symbol of love, but its beginnings are still a bit unclear.

There are a few popular theories about how the heart symbol developed. Some researchers connect it to ivy leaves, a sign of loyalty in ancient Greece. Others believe it could relate to the silphium plant, which was used in the ancient world and appeared on Roman coinage as a seed-pod shape. By the Middle Ages, the heart was firmly linked to romantic love through artwork, manuscripts, and the traditions of courtly romance.
