About Jonquil

Jonquil is an unusual flower name that is less outlandish than Daffodil and less common than Daisy. It just might appeal to parents seeking a singular botanical option.

Unlike most flower names, Jonquil wasn't introduced until the 1940s, and saw some usage in the U.K. during the forties and fifties.

Jonquil is also given to boys.

Pronounced JAHN-kwul.

As of October 2026, Jonquil ranked #13316 in US births in 2007 SSA, peaked at #5557 in 1993.
