Predictions for 2025
After analyzing thousands of baby names, I looked closely at nature-inspired names to identify any potential viral candidates among tree names for girls.
While names like Willow (#41) and Hazel (#19) have already claimed their spots in the top ranks, there are several up-and-coming tree names to watch.
I carefully examined names like Rowan, Palmer, Maple, and Clover for signs of viral potential. I looked for consistent acceleration in gains and increasing momentum.
None showed the clear pattern of acceleration that typically precedes viral growth. However, several show healthy, steady rises that suggest continued popularity.
Palmer has shown particular stability, moving from #293 in 2022 to #277 in 2023. While these gains are modest, they suggest the name is finding its footing in the top 300.
Rowan is especially interesting as a crossover name. While traditionally masculine, it’s gaining steady traction for girls, showing the growing appeal of unisex tree names.
Clover made one of the biggest jumps among nature names in 2023, climbing 82 spots to #675. However, this follows previous drops, suggesting organic growth rather than viral potential.
The data suggests tree names aren’t likely to produce any viral sensations in 2025. Instead, we’re seeing a steady, sustainable rise in their popularity.
This gradual growth actually points to longevity rather than trendiness – parents are consistently drawn to tree names for their natural beauty and strong imagery.
For parents seeking distinctive yet meaningful names, the tree name category offers options that feel both grounded and fresh without being overly trendy.

Final thoughts on tree names for girls
Trees represent knowledge, longevity, connectivity, protection, nourishment, strength, solace, peace, good fortune, balance, and healing.
What better source of inspiration could there possibly be for your daughter’s name?
The beauty of tree names lies in their versatility. Whether you prefer classic choices like Hazel and Olivia, or unique options like Acacia and Maple, there’s a tree name that fits every style.
As you’ve seen, many tree names work beautifully as middle names too, creating memorable combinations like Luna Cassia or Eden Maple. These pairings often strike the perfect balance between familiar and distinctive.
Consider your family’s connection to nature, your cultural heritage, and the meaning behind each name. Some parents choose a tree name to honor a special place or memory, while others simply fall in love with how it sounds.
With so many beautiful choices of tree-related baby names, narrowing down your list may be difficult. The good news is you really can’t go wrong with any of these!
Congratulations and good luck choosing the perfect tree name for your baby girl.
