Our newest granddaughter
will be born toward the end
of October. She is going
to be named Violet. Below
is the origin and meaning of
her name.
The girl's name Violet \vi(o)-let\ is pronounced VYE-a-let. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "purple". One of the earliest flower names, first used in the 1830s. Shakespeare used the Latin form Viola for the enterprising heroine in "Twelfth Night".
