What does Poppy mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: English

Poppy comes straight from the English word for the flower known for its papery, vivid red petals. Poppies have carried symbolic weight for over a century, especially as a flower of remembrance tied to the battlefields of World War I.

As a name, Poppy is bright, cheerful, and a little playful, evoking a quick burst of color. It suits a spirited, energetic pet, particularly one with a touch of red or orange in their coat.
