A lustrous shade of soft green like mint leaves -- the name even smells like mint, too! A subtle flower name, flourishing with kindness and wisdom and gently emitting tones of courage. As for the other meaning, well, it's not as unfortunate as we have come to think of it. "To beget" means to father, to produce, to give life to. Is that a bad thing? No, it symbolizes new life. I think this name is a perfect choice for a baby with wide, curious eyes.
I was pretty surprised by the meaning when I first read it, like why would any name have a meaning like that lol and then I realized…it sounds very similar to…a part of male anatomy…and suddenly the meaning ‘to beget’ made sense….
Gentian Violet is a triarylmethane dye (AKA methyl violet 10B or hexamethyl pararosaniline chloride) used medicinally for its antibacterial & antifungal properties. It is named such due to the vibrant purple color similar to the petals of certain Gentian flowers though it is not made from gentians or violets.
These are beautiful plants, but I wouldn't use it as a person name because of its less than holy meaning.
