Parents always want to name their daughter with something pretty as to show the baby's beauty and grace. I don't know much about others culture but in Vietnam, we often use flowers to deliver the name of a baby.
Here are a list of popular flower name that parents often use for their princessβ₯οΈ
- Hα»ng (Rose)
This is one of the most classic and popular names that you probably once heard when traveling around Vietnam. "Hα»ng" means "rose" and as you know, rose stands for something charm, love and romance (and yes depend on the color as well). My parents gave me this sweet name too, but a wild pink rose which you can find in jungles or house fences π It looks beautiful but can be dangerous if someone tries to ruin it. I believe my parents chose right name for me, I really like this name π»
- Huα» (Lily)
By far I know, the flower itself represent beauty, purity and innocence, that's all good qualities that a baby can have. Oh I have to notice that our lily is not the same with international lily π
This is hoa huα» - Vietnamese lily which is named for baby girls and down here is others "lilies" also π€©
- CΓΊc (Chamomile)
What a beautiful wish from parents who want to name their baby! The flower represents "may all dreams come true" π Obviously parents hope their daughter will able to achieve whatever she want to do π
- Mai (Apricot Blossom) or ΔΓ o (Cherry Blossom)
Talking about these flowers, they play an important role in decorating the house during Lunar New Year. The color and delicate shape are symbol of hope, wealth and luck π Who doesn't want that in life? Surely not parents who name their children as these flowers.
- Lan (Orchid)
Symbol of the flower is well known as beauty, love and elegance. It's considered as a sophisticated baby girl name. Usually girls under this name is often stand out of the crowd in a good way π You may have another thoughts about this name π€
- LiΓͺn (Lotus)
Oh yes, we can't miss this name, not only the oriental flavor but also itself spiritual beauty. Ladies under this name always behave very calm and grace π
There are still many beautiful names out there and even more than one meanings as flowers. Sometimes some foreign friends bhave difficulty to pronounce our names as we have 6 different tones in one word and as a result, it turns into totally different meanings which's quite hard for me to explain in short words and I prefer to talk than writing down about that matter π
Thank you for reading and I hope to get your inputs about your name giving "culture" as well. It's always interesting me to find the story behind that names.
Much π from little π
