Edelweiss

Edelweiss, though commonly used as a girl's name, actually belongs to a star-shaped flower widely associated with the Alps. The meaning of Edelweiss comes from two German words, 'edel' meaning 'noble' and 'weiss', which means white. Combining both, the meaning of Edelweiss is 'noble white'. The name though rare, has been seeing an uptick in interest. The flower was called 'wool flower' until the late 19th century and was believed to have magical and medicinal properties. There are stories about the daring procurance of the Edelweiss flower, also known as the 'Silver Star' from the mountains, which was considered a sign of bravery and love. In 1861, author Berthold Auerbach also wrote about the stories in his novel titled 'Edelweiss'. The name also became famous due to the Edelweiss song by Richard Rodgers in the 'The Sound Of Music' in 1959. Edelweiss flower is believed to have originated in Asia and reached the Alps sometime during the Ice Age. The flower's scientific name is Leontopodium alpinum. Many say that someone with the name of Edelweiss is creative, gentle, patient, and intelligent. The Edelweiss is an integral part of Swiss tradition and is featured on the Swiss franc coin of denomination five.

Lucky

Edelweiss lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
