About Amaryllis
If you love both unique baby names and flower names for girls, Amaryllis might be a perfect choice for you.
A showier flower name than Lily, but in the same botanical family, Amaryllis is not as outre as it might at first sound. It was used in Greek poetry as the appellation of pure pastoral beauties; Amaryllis is the heroine of Virgil's epic poem Ecologues, after whom the flower was named.
Other references are characters in the George Bernard Shaw play Back to Methuselah and The Music Man. James Bond-creator Ian Fleming had a half sister named Amaryllis Marie-Louise Fleming, who was a noted British cellist.
Pronounced am-uh-RIL-is.
As of October 2026, Amaryllis ranked #2439 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1139 in 1927.
