Maple

Maple is a nature name that has an old-fashioned “grandma name” feel, but it also sounds fresh and current at the same time. While it saw a bit of popularity at the start of the 20th century, it hasn't been a top name for girls in the United States since 1902. However, over the last decade or two, a few celebrities have chosen the name for their daughters. Combine that with an increasing interest in nature names, and Maple is a monkiker that we may see much more of in the future.

Meaning of the Name Maple

The baby name Maple is derived from the maple tree. Maple is another name for the Acer genus of trees, and there are about 132 species of them. Maple trees typically symbolize balance, beauty, strength and endurance, so new parents may find symbolism here.
