Silk Origin and Meaning

The name Silk is a girl's name.

Silk is an uncommon English word name derived directly from the luxurious fabric. The name evokes qualities of smoothness, elegance, softness, and luxury. As a given name, Silk has been used very rarely, making it a truly distinctive choice. The word itself comes from the Old English 'seoloc,' ultimately derived from the ancient Chinese silk trade routes. While traditionally gender-neutral, it has slightly more usage as a feminine name.

The name projects an image of refinement and uncommon beauty, standing out in a world of more conventional names.
