Eglantine
About Eglantine
This name for the sweetbriar shrub is a bit too reminiscent of eggplant, but it does have literary creds, having appeared in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The French form Églantine appeared in the charts in the first half of the 20th century and again in the 2000s.
Pronounced EH-GLAH-teen; EHG-luhn-teen.
Editor's take: The name Eglantine is a girl's name of French origin meaning "sweetbriar".
