A floral Arabic name which holds significance to those who follow Twelver Shi'ism (the largest group of Shia Muslims), Narjis is said to have been the name of Muhamad al-Mahdi's mother. Also known as the Hidden Iman, Muhamad al-Mahdi is believed to be last of the Twelve Imans who will appear at the end of times to bring peace and redemption to Islam.

Has a pleasantly fizzy, effervescent feeling.

The Italian form of Jasmine and Yasmin.

Overly teasable.

A handsome and floral name, Vardan is a popular choice in Armenia where it ranks in the Top 50 and has done since records began in the late 2000s. Likely derived from the Iranian vard or the Arabic warda it could mean "rose".

A distinctive international variation of Rosa. Croatian opera Ruža Pospiš-Baldani, Slovenian Olympic gymnast Ruža Vojsk, and anti-fascist Ruža Petrović are notable bearers.

A bright and pretty Turkish name, with a poetic and floral feel, Belemir means "cornflower". Notably borne by actress Belemir Temizsoy, it also appears as a masculine name in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

Palindromic name often heard in Ethiopia.

A pretty, botanical choice that features in a much covered song called Pua Lililehua, this is the Hawaiian name for salvia coccinea, a plant with bright red flowers, more commonly known as Scarlet Sage, Tropical Sage or Texas Sage.

A melodic and glowing name, derived from Mapuche, the language of the Indigenous people of central Chile, Millaray means "golden flower". It ranked in the Chilean Top 100 in the 2010s and remains a familiar choice. Pronounced as mee-ya-rye, and not as mih-luh-ray as those unfamiliar with it might assume, Millaray is notably borne by actress and presenter Millaray Viera and footballer Millaray Cortés.

A simple, floral boy name of Hindi origin, that coincides with a Dutch surname meaning "lot". Kavela is a feminine form, while an alternative spelling is Kavele.

While its feminine counterpart Rosetta is far more popular, this botanical boy name is an established choice, with a touch of poetic flair and an obvious nature-connection. Joining the likes of Florian and Viorel as a flower name for a boy, it is used very occasionally in Italy and the Philippines (and sometimes as a girl name too!)

An attractive enough name, but for die-hard Star Wars fans only.

Irit means "asphodel," which refers to a genus of perennial flower native to the Mediterranean and Middle East.

Strong but sparky, Ivančica is a Croatian name, that can be interpreted as a variation on Ivana and Ivanka, both international, feminine forms of John, or as a botanical name, derived from the Croatian word for "daisy".
