Lemon

Meaning of Lemon

Lemon is a bright, playful name for a baby girl. It springs from the sweet-tart fruit whose name travelled from Arabic laymūn through Latin limon to English. In English it’s pronounced LEH-muhn. It drips with Mediterranean sunshine like a golden droplet on the tongue. In Roman gardens, lemon trees scented warm breezes and whispered tales of la familia beneath citrus boughs. Today it shines as a rare gem: in 2024, 29 newborn girls wore the name, placing it at rank 921 in the USA. Parents choose it for its tangy zest, its glowing warmth, and its promise of pucker-filled joy—no sour notes here!
