Lotus is simply the name of the flower, used directly as a given name. The word reached English through Greek, where it named several plants. As a girls' name it leans entirely on the flower's imagery of beauty and serenity.
Unlike many floral names, Lotus keeps the flat, unsoftened shape of the word itself, which gives it a clean, slightly exotic feel.
Did you know? The meaning usually attached to Lotus is 'origin uncertain', and that core idea is what gives the name most of its long-term appeal.
