Brassica is a botanical Latin name for the mustardspice. Specifically, it's the name of the genus to which mustards tend to belong. A genus refers to a biological division that's lower than a family and higher than a species. It groups organisms that have similar body structures, that resemble each other in general form and shape. In a way, an equivalent is the use of a last name by a group of individuals who are related and more or less look like one another.
But there are other plants that share that genus name. For example, the scientific name Brassica napus refers to turnip. The name Brassica oleracea refers to cabbage, cauliflower, and wild mustard. The name Brassica rapa refers to rapeseed.
