Cypress First Name Meaning

Cypress is a gender-neutral name of English origin, derived from the Greek word κυπάρισσος (kyparissos), meaning "Cypress Tree." The name is associated with various coniferous trees and shrubs from the Cupressus genus, known for their pyramidal form, needle-like foliage, and acorn-like seed cones. These trees are commonly found in warm-temperate and subtropical regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. In Greek mythology, the name Cyparissus is linked to a tale of mourning and transformation, where a male lover of Apollo is turned into a cypress tree. This myth has led to the cypress being a symbol of mourning, sadness, and loss, and it has been traditionally planted in cemeteries. The name Cypress carries a strong connection to nature and mythology, reflecting resilience and the enduring nature of life.
