Jonquil

English flower name, from Latin
"reed"

Jonquil Origin and Meaning

The name Jonquil is a girl's name meaning "reed".

Jonquil is an unusual flower name that is less outlandish than Daffodil and less common than Daisy. It just might appeal to parents seeking a singular botanical option.

Unlike most flower names, Jonquil wasn't introduced until the 1940s, and saw some usage in the U.K. during the forties and fifties.
