Songs Songs from District Collins revealed in a interview with Entertainment Weekly that Everdeen is a wink to another book character's surname, explaining, "Katniss Everdeen owes her last name to Bathsheba Everdene, the lead character in Far From the Madding Crowd.
The two are very different, but both struggle with knowing their hearts. Indeed, just as Bathsheba struggles to decide between multiple potential suitors with differing personalities and economic statuses, Katniss must also determine whether her heart belongs to her fellow tribute, the bakery owner's son Peeta Mellark, or her longtime friend, the impoverished hunter Gale Hawthorne. A similar comparison can also be drawn between Bathsheba Everdene and Katniss' mother who, despite growing up in the merchant class and being courted by Peeta's father, fell in love with Katniss' much poorer dad.

Katniss, "it is true, but so is what you said about Peeta. She always felt wrong about Peeta as long as Gale was around because of what they were just beginning to have before the Games.

Collins has even named several major characters for plants that symbolize them. And, in the months since The Hunger Games premiered on screen, there has been a renewed appetite for foraging and wild plant literacy.

In the wild, the katniss plant is found in wetlands. Its leaves are edible, though it's most valued for its roots: large, nutritious tubers whose taste is comparable to a sweet potato.
