So far, I have Magnolia, Rose, Violet/Violeta, Petunia, Lily, and Daisy for English, though Violeta is Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Lithuanian, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish, and Portuguese according to the Wikipedia.
Here a few in Finnish:
- Kanerva (heather)
- Kielo (lily)
- Vuokko (anemone)
- Ruusu (rose)
- Kukka (flower)
- Lemmikki (forget-me-not)
- Orvokki (violet)
- Vanamo (Linnaea borealis)
In Swedish there is Linnéa. After the Linnaea flower (Linnea in Swedish). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaea
There is also Rosa, Viola and Iris but Linnéa is probably more common.
I know it’s not technically a flower, but I feel like Blossom counts
English also has Marigold and Iris.
Japan: 花 (Hana, Flower), 菫 (Sumire, violet), 蓮 (Ren, lotus), 蘭 (Ran, Orchid), 柊 (Hiiragi).
What about Sakura? Isn’t that a name too?
I’m here to say Jasmine /Jazmín in English and Spanish, because I haven’t seen it mentioned yet
I’m sure someone else will cover the big ones for the US but I just want to chime in that my son’s classmate is named Cattleya. (It’s a type of orchid.)
Leïla in persian is the Lilac flower
Dutch: Madelief, Roos, Margriet
Fleur, Jasmijn, Sanne
Portuguese: Rosa, Margarida (Daisy), Floribela (“beautiful flower”), Dália (Dhalia), Íris, Violeta, Jasmim, Magnólia, Flor (literally “flower”), Gardénia, Hortência (Hydrangea), Florência, Liliana (from Lily), Jacinta (Hyacinth). I know personally women with all but four of these names.
This in Portuguese, where I currently live, but I have no reason to believe you won’t find them in Brazil or other Portuguese speaking countries as well…
Very common in Brazil: Rosa, Margarida, Jasmim/Yasmin, Lívia, Íris.
ps: Margarida is Daisy and Lívia is Lily.
Also in English, there’s Rosa, Marigold, and Iris (though Marigold might be a color rather than a flower?)
Marigold is a flower — e.g. marsh marigolds :)
In Spanish and Portuguese there is literally “Florinda”
I gotta say, knowing of two Violets in my life, that is probably my favorite name.
I don’t get the question at all. Azucena, maybe?
Oops, girl’s names named after flowers
lol I wasn’t so far from the tree, then. Yeah, Azucena is a girl name in spanish.
What I can think of in German: Rose, Erika, Jasmin, Iris (maybe Viola but that’s not really the commonly used name for the flower)
