Blanchefleur

French
"white flower"

Blanchefleur Origin and Meaning

The name Blanchefleur is a girl's name meaning "white flower".

A widely used name in medieval Europe that's been almost completely forgotten. Blanche still reads as old lady-ish, and the frilly "-fleur" doesn't make it feel younger. But it could be a striking, not to say iconic, choice for a bold parent, especially if they had some sort of connection to white flowers or the Middle Ages.
