About the name Juniper
Juniper is a girl name of Latin origin meaning "evergreen tree". It is most commonly used in Secular families and is especially popular in United States.
Juniper is one of the botanical names that broke through in the 2010s alongside Willow and Hazel, but it has a longer history than most: the tree appears in the Hebrew Bible as shelter for Elijah, and its berries have been used medicinally and in gin production for centuries. The nickname June gives it a vintage fallback.
Popularity trend: Juniper has been gaining ground with parents in recent years.
