Park is a gender-neutral moniker that is woven in the hopes that baby will love spending time outside with friends, getting mucky on the grass. As an English and Scottish surname, Park comes from terms meaning “park” or “enclosure.” Park is also an incredibly popular Korean family name. Stemming from the Korean character Romanized as pak, Park means “gourd” or “to shine brightly.” The Pak clans are said to be traced from the possibly mythological Pak Hyŏkkŏse. According to legend, he established the new Shilla kingdom after emerging from a golden gourd-shaped egg in 69 AD. Honoring baby’s heritage, Park is steeped in history and folklore and is a beautiful dedication to generations past.
