This page draws only from the nature names in our list: 43 girl names taken from trees, plants, flowers, birds, stones and landscapes. Press More names for a new set, or switch to Top 10 to see the most given first.
The most popular girl name in the United States is a nature name: Olivia, 1st in 2025, comes from the Latin word for the olive tree. Chloe (23rd) means “young green shoot” in Greek. Next to these discreet ones are names that wear their meaning openly: Violet (13th), Lily (18th), Hazel (21st), Ivy (39th), Willow (44th), Daisy (75th), Autumn (88th) and Juniper (100th). In all, 13 of the 43 are in the 2025 top 100, and English is the most common root, with 16 names such as Hazel, Willow, Wren and Meadow.
Grouped by theme, the list looks like a walk outdoors:
Nature names are often short and soft, so they pair well with a longer, classic middle name: Fern Elizabeth, Wren Josephine. If you want the meaning without the obvious word, choose a name like Sylvie, Elowen or Ilana, which carry the forest or the tree in another language. For blossoms in particular, see the flower names for girls.
