Prepare for the comfort of Celosia's warm embrace. As a girl's name, Celosia has Greek origins from the term κήλεος (kḗleos), which signifies "burning" or "ablaze." Baby Celosia may have a fiery spirit, just like the vibrant flower they are named after. Their peculiar flower heads resemble the plumage of an exotic bird or a fire, with flickers of red, orange, and yellow appearing on their blooms. Celosia plants thrive in warm climates, and perhaps your little spark will be happiest under the summer sun, too!
