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 that would help solve the problem of choosing a unique name for a child begin to be thoroughly examined. At the same time, the parents' obsessive desire for the individuality of their baby sometimes leads to the most unexpected results, more precisely, to the spheres of human life that moms and dads turn to in search of an interesting name. One of these areas was plant growing.
"Floral" female names
Today, many women named Rosa, Lilia, Margarita, Viola and others naively believe that the most beautiful flowers on the planet are named after them. In fact, the situation is radically opposite.
Many decades ago, scientists were "introduced" into the world various types of flowers and invented their names. And everything would go on like this, if at one fine moment, there was no pattern in the fact that a beautiful plant with a very gentle 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 became the pearl of Margarita.
It should also be said that the names of plants not only became proper names in their direct name, but were also translated into various languages.
Now, 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".
