Orange
About Orange
An unlikely choice, but in this era of Apple, Navy, Golden, and Mint, you never know. In fact, Orange does have some historical grounding as a feminine name, appearing in Medieval times as Orange, Orenge, and Orengia, possibly after the French place name, which was named for a Celtic water god, Arausio, meaning "cheek, temple".
The fruit and color name comes from a totally different, Sanskrit origin however, and has only ever appeared in the US stats for girls on three occasions, back in the early 20th century.
If you do want an orange feeling girl name, you could consider Clementine, Alani, Ginger, Honey, Marigold, Saffron, or Goldie instead.
Pronounced OR-inj.
As of October 2026, Orange ranked #4087 in US births in 1928 SSA.
Editor's take: The name Orange is a girl's name.
