Neroly

If you wish you could bottle your little one’s new baby smell, you’ll love the feminine name Neroly. This gorgeous moniker is an alternative spelling of neroli, a title you might recognize from your favorite scents and perfumes. Distilled from the blossom of the orange tree, neroli is one of the most well-known essential oils. It was first produced in Italy for a princess who wished to use it as perfume. That princess came from a town called Nerola, where Neroly’s origins lie. Perhaps Neroly simply translates to “orange blossom oil,” honoring its botanical roots. Other sources link this moniker to the Sabine word nero, which means “strong” or “brave.” When your Neroly is old enough to choose their signature scent, don’t be surprised if there’s a clear winner!
