90 Best Tree Names For Girls To Be Inspired By Nature

Ready to branch out with one of these cute tree names for girls?

If it’s time to grow your family tree, why not look to the natural world for inspiration. From feminine tree names or girls names that are flowers, through to nature-inspired choices, we’ve got you covered.

Who’d have thought that there was more than one name meaning oak? Or that naming your child after the ash tree doesn’t have to mean calling them Ashley?

Of course, there are plenty of tree names that do exactly what they say on the tin: Willow, Olive, Linden and Hazel are all named after tree varieties. But what if you want something a little more subtle?

Something that hints at lush forests without being so overt. You could opt for a baby girl name whose meaning hints at strong, graceful trees in a more indirect way.

Trees have long been a symbol of both physical and spiritual nourishment, transformation and freedom. Individual trees also have their own symbolic meaning: for example, we extend an olive branch for forgiveness.

Did you know that wisteria’s meaning is romance, the elm tree’s meaning is inner love and the meaning of the pine trees is humility? Why not name your baby daughter Linden, in honour of the linden tree and its meaning of peace and justice, or Aspen, which has the symbolic meaning of protection?
