Indigo

The name Indigo is derived from the Greek word 'indikon,' meaning 'from India.' It refers to the deep blue dye obtained from the leaves of certain plants, primarily the indigo plant.

Indigo was one of the most important and widely traded natural dyes in the ancient world, particularly in India and other parts of Asia. The dye was highly valued for its rich and vibrant color.

In modern times, the name Indigo has become associated with the color itself, and is often seen as a unique and unconventional name choice.

While the name is more commonly used for girls, it has also gained popularity as a gender-neutral or unisex name in recent years.
