Tulip

Meaning of Tulip

Imagine wandering through a dewy garden at dawn: the name Tulip conjures that very fresh sparkle of spring, as if sunshine itself were tucked into a single rosy bloom. Drawn from the Persian dulband (“turban”) via Ottoman tülbent, it first floated into European gardens centuries ago and today carries that rich Old-World pedigree into modern nurseries. With its sleek, cup-shaped petals, Tulip whispers of renewal, love’s gentle promise and a cheeky wink of poetry—each syllable tip-toes on the tongue like a petal unfurling. Though it remains as distinctive as a lone blossom in a vast meadow—just 22 little Tulips popped up in the U.S. in 2024, ranking 928th—this spirited choice is steadily bursting into bloom, ready to paint family stories in bold, joyful color.
