Crimson
Meaning of Crimson
Crimson strides onto the birth certificate with the bold confidence of a flamenco step—its name born from the medieval Spanish “cremesín,” once the prized dye that colored kings’ capes a deep rojo. The word traveled through Latin tongues, picked up a little Old English charm, and today it offers a gender-free splash of passion for any baby. Think of sunrise skies, autumn leaves, the pep-rally roar of the Crimson Tide, even a wink to Harvard’s mighty shade—all bright signals of courage, creativity, and corazón. Crimson is still a hidden gem, hovering just inside the U.S. top 1,000, so a child can stand out without spelling it twenty times a day. It’s easy on the ears—KRIM-suhn—and playful on the tongue, like a cherry-kissed lullaby. Give a little one this name and you gift them a life painted in fearless color; mañana never looked so vibrant.
