Henna First Name Meaning

Henna is a gender-neutral name of Arabic origin that means "Natural Dye." The name is derived from the Arabic word حِنَّاء‎ (ALA-LC: ḥinnāʾ), referring to the reddish dye prepared from the dried and powdered leaves of the henna tree. Henna has been historically used in ancient Egypt, the ancient Near East, and the Indian subcontinent to dye skin, hair, and fingernails, as well as fabrics including silk, wool, and leather. The name Henna is associated with the art of mehndi, or "henna tattoo," where the skin is stained using dyes from the henna plant. Henna is also used for body art, hair dye, and in various cultural and traditional ceremonies across different regions and communities. It is important to note that natural henna is distinct from black henna, which may contain harmful chemicals and should be avoided.
