Fern

Fern is a gender-neutral name of English origin, derived from the common plant bearing the same name. The name is often associated with nature, growth, and renewal.

In the Victorian era, ferns were highly popular in household decorations and were seen as symbols of humility, sincerity, and endurance. This association may have contributed to the rise of the name Fern during that time.

The name Fern has a fresh and earthy quality, evoking images of lush green foliage and the beauty of the natural world. It is often chosen by parents who appreciate nature-inspired names or those with a botanical theme.

While Fern is traditionally considered a feminine name, it has also been used as a gender-neutral option in recent years, reflecting the growing trend towards non-traditional and nature-inspired names for both boys and girls.
