English origin
“A literal English word chosen as a name, likely reflecting 1970s-1990s trends of word-names and abstract concepts in American naming, particularly in countercultural or alternative communities. The choice suggests themes of innocence, potential, or spiritual youth. It's unconventional and carries philosophical weight about identity and growth.”
