In German it's "Unkraut" which could either be interpreted as "not herb", "abnormal herb" or "evil herb". Is the range similar in Spanish?

Other than the “not” part, yeah. “Mala” is bad, wrong, evil, wicked, ill, naughty, etc.

(Checked this to confirm before I posted, since it’s been several years since I’ve known Spanish well enough to speak it.)

Estonian is umbrohi which is kind of like "not grass" so pretty similar to Deutsch here
