Midori

This is a lovely feminine Japanese name which most sources agree means “green,†making this an excellent choice for a daughter of parents who love that color! Midori is considered to be rooted in Judaism, so it may also appeal to parents who belong to that particular faith. One source declares that the Kanji for Midori can also mean halcyon, which is certain to be appealing on a different level. Even if neither of those meanings strike true, there’s no denying that Midori is simply beautiful, perhaps even a little bit delicate-sounding. It’s the perfect name for a sweet baby girl.
