History & Origin

Bluebell is an English word-name from the wild bluebell, the nodding blue spring flower. It belongs to the same botanical-name tradition as Daisy, Poppy and Ivy.

Long used affectionately for pets and meadows, Bluebell stepped into modern given-name use as vintage flower names were revived.

Did you know? English bluebell woods are so fragile that the flower is legally protected in the U.K., where picking wild bluebells from the countryside is restricted.
