English origin
“A nature name derived from the delicate fern plant, symbolizing grace, mystery, and resilience. Fern became popular as a botanical name in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when naming children after flowers and plants reflected both Romantic sensibilities and a love of the natural world. The name evokes a quiet, thoughtful character with understated elegance.”
