Unique in every essence of the word, Mignonette is a feminine name that celebrates the distinctive beauty of your little one. Stemming from the French mignon, Mignonette means "delicate" or "dainty"—some may even venture "cute." How fitting that Mignonette is a favored name for the demure, flowering plant Reseda Odorata, beloved by bees and perfumers alike. Known as a garden escapee, the Mignonette may hold pride of place in a gardener's paradise, but it's a beauty that defies confinement.
