Primrose

Meaning of Primrose

Primrose traces back to the Latin primus, meaning “first,” and to the tiny flower that peeks out at the very start of spring. The name feels like a ray of early sun, warm and quick to lift the heart. Victorian families adored it, and after decades of rest it is blooming again, landing in the U.S. Top 900 every year since 2014. Readers meet it in the gentle Primrose Everdeen of The Hunger Games, while Spanish speakers hear a friendly echo of primavera, “spring.” With roots in nature, literature, and old-world charm, Primrose carries the scent of new beginnings and quiet courage—perfect for a niña ready to grow her own bright story.
