Literally, it refers to the name of plants whose seed has a heart shape pattern. I guess since the seed has heart pattern outside, the name metaphorically refers to the fact that they cause people to expose their heart and their inner self?

@nhahtdh  Probably so, maybe I am trying to see if the writer or showmakers had voiced something about that. Maybe it is one of those inspirational sources some Japanese authors have when they fancy some name or category of names and then go all-out, like in Chaika, all the family names are car manufacturers. There may be something there, maybe not, but have to ask nonetheless.
