Hazel

Hazel, like many nature-inspired names, carries a charm that feels timeless and fresh at once. It originates from the name of the tree, appreciated for its healing properties and beautiful nuts. Though it experienced a dip in popularity mid-20th century, it's made a fabulous comeback in recent years, possibly due to a cultural trend towards vintage names. Notables bearing this name include novelist Hazel Gaynor and civil rights activist Hazel Scott. It's hard to shorten Hazel, but it pairs nicely with other botanical names.
