Bluma

Meaning of Bluma

Bluma is a female name pronounced BLOO-mah (/ˈbluːmə/) in Yiddish, tracing its roots to the word for “flower,” itself blossoming from the German Blume and ultimately drawing on Hebrew notions of renewal and beauty. With a gentle resilience that evokes petals unfurling after winter’s hush, Bluma appeals to parents seeking a lyrical, culturally grounded choice that remains quietly distinctive. Though it has seldom climbed to the top tiers of U.S. name rankings, its modest yet steady presence—from early 20th-century peaks to a revival in the 900s range as recently as 2024—reveals an enduring appeal among families favoring depth over ubiquity. Few toddlers will boast of its Yiddish lineage on the playground, but that unlikely scholarly pedigree only enhances its subtle warmth, marrying tradition with a modern sense of individuality.
