Lavandin

An undiscovered floral name, Lavandin is the name of a hybrid plant, created by crossing English and Portuguese lavender. The result is a larger plant with more flowers, that is particularly good for making aromatherapy oils, cosmetics, and cleaning products.

Rare as it is, Lavandin has the familiar nicknames Andy, Van, Vinnie, and Lannie, which may make it feel more grounded. In terms of its entomological roots, the name lavender comes from the Old French lavandre meaning "to wash" referring to the use of the plant when bathing and Lavandin would have the same roots, making it a fragrant, fresh feeling name.

Pronounced lav-ahn-DAN.
