Blossom

Meaning of Blossom

Blossom is the kind of name that arrives like springtime on the tongue—fresh, bright, and carrying the sweet promise of “phool khilna,” flowers in full bloom. Born from the Old English blostma, it literally means “to flower,” yet it also hints at every girl’s journey from bud to burst of color. In India, families picture mango blossoms dancing in the March breeze and hear Bollywood lyrics that celebrate new love as a garden coming alive. Western pop culture chips in with the cheerful ‘90s sitcom Blossom, proving the name can wear jeans as easily as jasmine. Light-hearted, hopeful, and easy to say (BLAH-suhm—no watering required), Blossom reminds parents that every little soul has petals waiting to open at her own sunny pace.
