Thinking about the name
Vanilla
Spanish origin
“Derived from the Spanish 'vainilla,' originally from a Taíno (Caribbean indigenous) word for the vanilla orchid. Though now associated with the flavor and the word meaning 'plain,' Vanilla as a name carries a creamy, warm sensibility and has been embraced by parents seeking nature-inspired and unconventional choices. The name has a vintage charm reminiscent of mid-20th century novelty naming.”
