Names That Mean Green

  1. Wintergreen
    • Origin:

      English nature name
    • Meaning:

      "green in the winter"
    • Description:

      Wintergreen is an antiquated form of the term "evergreen" that today is commonly associated with the mint-like flavoring found in toothpaste, chewing gum, and American root beer (yes, really). It's never been documented as a baby name, but considering Winter is so common these days, it's certainly within the realm of possibility.
  2. Berilo

      "beryl, pale green gemstone"
    • Description:

      A Latin name with a lot of tango flair.
  3. Mirtha

      Dutch
    • Meaning:

      "myrtle"
    • Description:

      The Dutch name is usually spelled Myrthe or Mirthe and pronounced meer-ta. But most English speakers will say it mer-tha and confuse the name with Martha, Bertha, or Myrtle.
  4. Panra
    • Origin:

      Pashto
    • Meaning:

      "leaf"
