Several other species in the genus Withania are morphologically similar.

The Latin species name somnifera means "hypnotist". The name 'ashwagandha' is a combination of the Sanskrit words 'ashva', meaning horse, and 'gandha', meaning smell, implying that the root has a strong horse-like smell.Ashwagandha is called Indian ginseng.
