Velvie

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Uncertain

Meaning: Velvet

From Cashmere to Heather, Luxe, and Patch, if you're considering fabric-inspired names, you might adore Velvie. While its origins are somewhat vague, Velvie likely derives from the luxurious fabric velvet. Velvie is an ideal choice for your tender-skinned baby with its sumptuous, silky, and smooth texture. The name traces back to the Provencal veluet and Latin villutus, meaning "velvet." Interestingly, Velvie is also the name of a jewelry store specializing in hypoallergenic necklaces, earrings, and other adornments. Despite its mysterious vibes, Velvie reached its peak popularity in the US in 1909 and could certainly make a stylish comeback.
