Magenta

Meaning of Magenta

Magenta is a unique and vibrant name for girls, pronounced as muh-JEN-tuh. The name Magenta originates from the rich purplish-red color, which itself was named after the Battle of Magenta in 1859, a significant event in Italian history. This name carries connotations of creativity, boldness, and individuality, making it an excellent choice for parents looking for something distinctive. While not widely popular in the United States, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 12 newborns per year over the past few decades, its rarity adds to its charm.
