There is a close connection between female names and the name of flowers. In Western Europe, the names Rose, Lily and Margarita (daisy) are popular. This is due to the mention of roses, lilies and daisies in Scripture. But girls were named "flower" names only in exceptional cases. Usually they baptized according to the calendar.
Instructions
Step 1
In the countries of Asia and the East, parents of children are more free in choosing names. There are two known word forms of jasmine. In Armenian, jasmine is "Hasmik", in Arabic "Yasamine". The phrase "blooming pomegranate" in Azerbaijan is pronounced in one word: "Gulnara".
Step 2
Flowers of the Mediterranean in female names
On the Arabian Peninsula, in India, in the countries of the Middle East, floriculture has been practiced for several thousand centuries. The female name Rose has many forms: the Turkic Varda sounds in the Armenian language Vard; there is a special name for the wild rose - Abal; the Arabs say about the rose: "Rauza".
The Spaniards and Italians use Rosita and Rosella.
Step 3
In the Mediterranean countries, the usual Susanna (among the Jews - "Suzanne") comes from the name of the lily. The second name of the flower "Lilian" is Latin. From Latin, the words have come down to our times: Rose, Rosalia, Rosina, Mimosa, Melissa, Malva, Laura, Laura (laurel), Camellia, Camilla (chamomile), Dahlia, Violetta (violet, but Oia is a violet among the Greeks), Viola (violet in Romanian), Azalea, Enola (magnolia).
Step 4
Indian and Asian female names
In India, girls are called by names: Padma (lotus), Kiri (amaranth flower), Malati (jasmine). In Turkic languages and in Arabic: Lala means poppy or tulip, Banafia - violet, Rauza - rose, Rayhan - basil, Shushan or Chulpan - the name of a tulip.
The mystical "moon flower" has a special name: Aigul (morning glory). The name Aigul is common in all Muslim countries.
Step 5
Slavic names with such coincidences are very rare. In Polish, both a girl and a violet are called Iolanta. Basilisks (he and she) in Old Slavic beliefs are elves guarding spikelets. Hence Vassa, Vasilisa. The beautifully blooming Veronica is also called the Venus shoe. The plant Ivan da Marya is known. It was believed that it has two different flowers. Kupava (water lily) guarded, according to legend, the purity of water. In Ukrainian and Polish, the name Ruta coincides with the name of the velvety mallow, but it also has a third meaning: "friend".
Step 6
English is rich in “flower” names. Frequently used words are May (hawthorn flower), Petunia, Chrysanthemum (chrysanthemum), Clematis, Cassia (cinnamon), Anise, Amond (almond), Alissa (alissium), Lavender, Kalantia (Kalanchoe), Barbara (barberry).
Step 7
In Japanese, girls are named after wisterias (Fuji), water lilies (Ren), lilies (Yuri), chrysanthemums (Kiku). In China, the chrysanthemum is called Ju, and the orchid is called Zhilan. The same words are used as female names.
