Freesia

US Popularity Rank: 10827

Origin: German

Meaning: Freese's flower; The freesia plant; A Frisian

Freesia is a girl’s name of English and German origin. Although a possible variant of the surname Freese, meaning “a Frisian” in German, it’s probably known best for the freesia plant, a pretty flower whose pink, purple, and yellow-colored petals populate fields in wet, rainy seasons. The freesia may also get its moniker and additional meaning of “Freese’s flower” from Friedrich Freese, a German botanist and medic. But baby can make it their very own with this fun, fresh name!
