Flower Names for Girls: 43 Floral Names and Their Meaning

Flower names for girls, in bloom and in bud

Here the picker only draws from the flower names in our list: 43 girl names that are, or mean, a flower or a flowering plant. The 10 at random mode is on and shows ten of the 43 at a time.

From the bouquet to the seed packet

Two flower names sit high in the 2025 Social Security Administration ranking: Violet (13th) and Lily (18th). The lily family is strong overall, with Lillian (57th) and Liliana (78th) also in the top 100, alongside Leilani (60th), Iris (61st) and Daisy (75th). That makes 7 in the top 100. The other 36 are given less often, from Rose, Jasmine and Magnolia to Peony, Dahlia, Clover and Zinnia.

Some flower names are obvious, others are hidden in another language. Flora is simply Latin for “flower” and Fleur is the same word in French, Hana is “flower” in Japanese, Leilani means “heavenly flowers” in Hawaiian, and Linnea is the Scandinavian name of the twinflower. Marguerite is the French word for daisy, Jacinta a Spanish form of Hyacinth, and Rosemary comes from Latin words meaning “dew of the sea”. Latin is the most common root on this page, with 13 names.

Choosing a floral name

Think about the season. Traditional birth-flower lists often give violet to February, daisy to April, aster to September and marigold to October, if you like a link with the birth month.
Balance sweet with strong. A delicate flower name pairs well with a sturdier middle name: Daisy Margaret, Poppy Catherine.
Check the nickname. Camellia becomes Millie, Marigold becomes Goldie, Rosalie becomes Rosie, a name that is also on this list.

For trees, leaves and birds rather than blossoms, see the nature girl names.
