Sow the seeds for a beautiful life for baby with the name Ethnee. This original choice has roots in Gaelic, Irish, and Scottish. Said to be an Anglicized respelling of Eithne, Ethnee meaning “kernel” or “grain.” With a nature-inspired meaning such as this, your little sprout is sure to grow up with a healthy sense of connection to the world around them. Alternatively, some sources say Ethnee or Eithne could be related to the Irish Aiden, offering up the alternative definition of “little fire.” While this may seem at odds with the former meanings we have mentioned, fire and harvesting actually go hand in hand. Burning crops will often increase growth and prepare fields for the next season. There are even plants that can only grow after they have encountered fire! We are sure baby Ethnee is going to be a blazing example of growth in your world, too.
