Amapola Origin and Meaning

The name Amapola is a girl's name of Spanish origin meaning "poppy".

A rarely heard flower name, Amapola comes from the Spanish word for "poppy", in turn associating with name with remembrance and the months of August and November. Pronounced as a-ma-POH-la, with the emphasis on the third syllable, it may feel similar enough to Amalia, Amaia, and Paula to work.

The name appears in the title of the popular song "Amapola", originally written by Spanish American composer José Lacalle in the 1920s. It later became a huge Big Band hit in the 1940s and variations of it have since been recorded by Bing Crosby, Natalie Cole, Bradley Walsh, and Andrea Bocelli.

Baseball player Francisco Lindor and his wife Katia named their daughter Amapola Chloé in 2023, which may help it catch on.
