Pansey Origin and Meaning

The name Pansey is a girl's name.

Pansey is a feminine name derived from the English word for the delicate garden flower. The name ultimately traces back to the French word 'pensée,' meaning 'thought' or 'remembrance,' as the pansy flower has long been associated with thoughtfulness and remembrance in folklore. This vintage nature name was more common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become quite rare. The spelling variant 'Pansey' with an 'e' is less common than 'Pansy.' Like other flower names, it evokes delicate beauty and connection to nature. Though uncommon today, it fits with the revival of vintage botanical names and might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive floral name with a touch of nostalgic charm.
