Safron
Safron Origin and Meaning
Safron is a feminine name derived from the valuable spice saffron, which comes from crocus flowers and has been prized throughout history for its golden color and distinctive flavor. This spelling variation (without the double 'f') gives the name a streamlined, modern appearance. The name evokes qualities of rarity and value, as saffron has historically been worth more than gold by weight. It also carries associations with the golden-orange color of the spice. As a name, Safron offers a nature connection without being overtly floral or botanical. It has remained relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality that appeals to parents seeking something recognizable yet not frequently used. The name has a warm, exotic feel with its connection to Eastern spice traditions.
