Names meaning garden, flowers, and paradise
Half the names in this family came into Arabic the way flowers come into a garden: slowly, from many directions, with each one keeping the shape of the place it grew. Yasmin is the jasmine. Warda is the rose. Rayhana is the basil that flavors a kitchen. There are date palms here, and laurel, and the legendary garden of Iram. There's abundance itself (Kawthar) and a spring in paradise (Tasnim). It's the largest theme in our library, because the Arabic tradition has loved the named-after-a-growing-thing for centuries. May your child grow into one of these names like a plant into its own pot.
