Pansy
Meaning of Pansy
Pansy (PAN-zee, /pænzi/) traces its lineage to the French pensée “thought,” itself deriving from the Latin pensāre “to weigh” or “to consider,” and designates the modest Viola tricolor flower long celebrated for its symbolism of remembrance and reflective contemplation. In North Carolina, the name maintained a consistent presence in the early twentieth century—holding positions within the top two hundred from 1910 through the mid-1960s and peaking around 1911 in the mid-one-hundreds—before gradually yielding to evolving naming fashions. Its etymological heritage and botanical elegance combine in an appellation that, much like its floral namesake, offers a quiet yet nuanced bloom: an analytical choice for parents who value classical roots, contemplative resonance, and the understated grace of a bygone era.
