- Scarlet
Origin:
Color nameDescription:
The Scarlet spelling makes it less a name, less Gone With The Wind and Scarlett Johansson, and more the bright red color that inspired it in the first place.
- Sora
- Vermillion
Description:
Vermillion is an extremely rare feminine name derived from the vibrant red-orange pigment of the same name. The word ultimately comes from Latin 'vermiculum,' meaning 'little worm,' referring to the tiny insects (kermes) from which this crimson dye was originally made. As a given name, Vermillion falls into the category of color names, alongside more common choices like Scarlet or Ruby. However, Vermillion remains exceptionally uncommon, making it a truly distinctive choice. The name carries strong associations with creativity, boldness, and visual arts due to the pigment's historical importance in painting. Its four syllables and melodic quality give it a flowing, elaborate sound that contrasts with shorter color names, offering parents a dramatic and artistic choice that's virtually guaranteed to be unique.
