Vernal Origin and Meaning

The name Vernal is a boy's name.

Vernal is a masculine name derived from the Latin word 'vernalis' meaning 'of spring' or 'spring-like.' This nature-inspired name evokes images of renewal, growth, and springtime freshness. Despite its pleasant meaning and melodic sound, Vernal has remained quite rare as a given name throughout recorded history. It saw modest usage in the United States in the early 20th century but never broke into mainstream popularity. The name carries a poetic, seasonal quality similar to other nature names like August or June, though with a distinctly botanical character. Vernal's connection to spring gives it associations with youth, vitality, and new beginnings.
