The Story of Peach
Peach comes from the Old French pesche and Medieval Latin persica, referring to the Persian fruit (persicum malum meaning Persian apple). The peach originated in China over 4,000 years ago before traveling the Silk Road to Persia and then Europe. As a given name, it represents softness, sweetness, and the blush-toned beauty of the fruit.
Peach is part of the growing trend of fruit and nature word names for girls. While Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter) and Plum popularized this category, Peach brings a warm, Southern sweetness to the trend.
In Chinese culture, the peach is a symbol of longevity, immortality, and good luck. In the Daoist tradition, the Peach of Immortality grows in the garden of the Queen Mother of the West. In the American South, the peach is a symbol of warmth and hospitality.
