Portuguese: Rosa, Margarida (Daisy), Floribela (“beautiful flower”), Dália (Dhalia), Íris, Violeta, Jasmim, Magnólia, Flor (literally “flower”), Gardénia, Hortência (Hydrangea), Florência, Liliana (from Lily), Jacinta (Hyacinth). I know personally women with all but four of these names. This in Portuguese, where I currently live, but I have no reason to believe you won’t find them in Brazil or other Portuguese speaking countries as well…

What I can think of in German: Rose, Erika, Jasmin, Iris (maybe Viola but that's not really the commonly used name for the flower)

In France some common ones are Rose, Iris, Capucine (Nasturtium), Hortense (Hydrangea), Marguerite (Daisy), Violette, Azalée (Azalea), Camélia, Fleur (Flower), Lilas (Lilac). There's way more than that but those are the ones that come to mind.

I'm sure someone else will cover the big ones for the US but I just want to chime in that my son's classmate is named Cattleya. (It's a type of orchid.)

@owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2026-01-20 23:05
Also in English, there's Rosa, Marigold, and Iris (though Marigold might be a color rather than a flower?)

I know it's not *technically* a flower, but I feel like Blossom counts

In Swedish there is Linnéa. After the Linnaea flower (Linnea in Swedish). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linnaea There is also Rosa, Viola and Iris but Linnéa is probably more common.

For Vietnamese there are quite a lot. Many flowers and names in Vietnam have multiple syllables which change the meaning of mono syllabic words and would take too long to list them out. That's why I'm gonna only list monosyllabic and common female names here: - Đào - Peach flower - Mai - Ochna integerrima - Cúc - Chrysanthemum - Liên - Lotus - Hồng - Rose - Hoa - Flower - Lan - Orchid - Huệ - Lily - Phượng - Delonix regia

That sounds like good enough reason for the orange-man to invade the Netherlands.
