Viridian
Meaning of Viridian
Pronounced vuh-RID-ee-uhn, Viridian finds its roots in the Latin viridis, meaning “green,” and conjures images of the first monsoon leaf glistening in Kerala’s rains or a peacock’s emerald plume fanning across Jaipur’s palaces. Unisex in its gentle strength, it offers a breath of fresh air—no greenhouse required—to any child who bears it. The name’s hue resonates with renewal and creativity, nodding both to the painter’s pigment prized for its cool vibrancy and to nature’s eternal cycle of growth. Though still rare in the United States—12 babies in 2024 carried the name (rank 938), up from 11 in 2023 (rank 947)—Viridian promises a vivid, timeless choice for families seeking warmth, elegance, and a touch of verdant magic.
