When a small miracle is born, any parents immediately begin to puzzle over what name to give him, so that it fully corresponds to the baby and at the same time reflects his inner world and character.
It is at the moment of choosing a name for a child that grandmother's dictionaries, encyclopedias, reference books and other sources of information begin to thoroughly research that would help solve the problem of choosing a unique name for a child. At the same time, the obsessive desire of parents for the individuality of their baby sometimes leads to the most unexpected results, more precisely, the spheres of human life, which mothers and fathers turn to in search of an interesting name. One of these areas is crop production.
"Floral" female names
At the moment, many women bearing the names Rose, Lilia, Margarita, Viola and others naively believe that the most beautiful flowers on the planet are named after them. In fact, the situation is completely opposite.
For many decades ago, scientists have "brought out" various types of flowers and invented names for them. And everything would have continued like this, if at one fine moment, a pattern was not revealed that a beautiful plant with a very delicate and pleasant name, when used as a name for a girl, seems to convey to her all the qualities that she herself possesses. Thus, the rose became a calm and gentle Rose, the lily became the feminine Lily, the daisies the pearl of Margarita.
It should also be said that the names of plants not only became proper names in their direct names, but were also translated into various languages.
Now, when choosing a name for a girl, many parents may not even know that, when translated into another language, the chosen name has a floral "origin".
"Floral" male names
If you look closely at the male half of the population, then among their names there are a huge number of heroes, animals and just ordinary people who served as a prototype at the time of searching for a suitable name for a newborn. As for plants and flowers, it is very rare to find their names in male names, since many believe that flowers are extremely delicate and domestic plants that are more suitable for the weak female half of the population than for defenders and strong men. Therefore, at the moment they are practically out of use.
However, there are still several examples in history. So, the usual bay leaf formed the basis of the male name Lavrenty, transferring to him such qualities as stamina and endurance, the daffodil flower became the famous name Narcissus with its inherent elegance and gallantry.
In addition, some male names only vaguely resemble plants. Bernard translated from English means wild rose, Sylvester is translated as coming out of the forest, Witold means forest lord.
In any case, no matter what name becomes the main thing for the child, it is important that the people around him believe in his strength and significance.
