A shamrock is a type of clover, used as a symbol of Ireland. The word shamrock comes from Irish seamróg, which is the diminutive of the Irish word seamair and simply means "young clover". The shamrock is not only found in Ireland. 

In his work as a missionary, it is told that Saint Patrick (the patron saint of Ireland) used a shamrock. He used it as a metaphor to explain the Holy Trinity - where the three leaves represented God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Since its use by Saint Patrick, the shamrock has been associated with Ireland. From the 18th century it became ingrained as the symbol of Ireland, much like the rose was associated with England, the thistle was associated with Scotland, and the daffodil was a symbol for Wales.
