Capture your love of nature with plant names for boys. Loaded with greenery and natural charm, plant boy names are perfect for a growing little one. Let’s meet some of these green boy names together.
Trees are a popular source of plant names for boys. With their great height and strength, they’re also some of our favorite nature names for boys overall. Ash offers a simple styling, while Aspen transports listeners to the mountains. Some parents adore the might of Cedar, while others love the southern vibes of Cypress. If you love literature, see Hawthorn, a stunning flowering tree whose name was also worn by classic writer Nathaniel Hawthorne. For more tree-based plant boy names, check out Oak, Rowan, and Sequoia.
Our favorite aspect of plant names for boys is their diversity. These natural boy names come from all around the landscape. You can find plant names with water vibes, like Reed, and find those from deep in the forest, like Fern. Others are herb-based, like Herb himself. Basil is an old-school classic in the herbal realm that we’d love to see more often, along with the one-syllable wow, Clove. Browse Cane, Forest, and Oliver for more plant boy names.
Boy plant names don’t have to be obvious, with meanings doing a lot of heavy lifting if you’re hoping for something subtle. Silas is one of our favorites, as his “man of the forest” meaning rockets anyone into nature. You might like the classic Keith too. This no-frills find means “woodland” and is nickname-proof and mature. There’s also Arden, a polished pick meaning “great forest.” See Carmello, an Italian gem meaning “orchard,” for a splash of drama. Other names for boys with plant meanings include Risley, Acacio, and Rhodes.
Venture into the forest with the rest of our list of plant names for boys and see what special names you’ll discover.
