Poppy
The name Poppy finds its origins in the Latin language and it is traditionally used by parents looking for a name for their daughters. The meaning of Poppy is taken from the flower of the same name but it can also be translated to mean ‘red flower’, signifying the bold crimson colour of the petals that bloom on the poppy plant. The poppy flower is known as a symbol of peace and sleep. In Great Britain, the poppy flower is a symbol of remembrance, after poppy flowers grew over the soldier's graves in Flanders, France, after the First World War. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s eldest daughter, Poppy Oliver, as well as the British actress Poppy Miller, are some of the many notable public figures known to bear the name.
