Willowdean is a feminine name with American English pronunciation "wil-oh-deen" (/ˈwɪl.oʊdɪn/). It is derived from the combination of two elements: "willow," which refers to the graceful and slender tree known for its flexibility, and "dean," which means "valley." The name carries a sense of natural beauty and tranquility. Willowdean may also be shortened to the familiar name Willow.
