Elegant Eglantyne has a nice ring to it, right? A modern variation of Eglantine, the Latin name means “needle” and “sweetbriar.” Your newest blossom will be just as precious as the beautiful pink flower for which they are named. One famous bearer of this classic name is Eglantyne Jebb, the founder of the Save the Children organization and the person who drafted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. Born to weave her story into the history books, sweet Eglantyne will always fight for those less fortunate.
