Cypress

Cypress is a boy's and girl's baby name of Greek origin, from the cypress tree — a tall, evergreen conifer that was sacred to the ancient Greeks as a symbol of mourning, immortality, and eternal life. The word comes from the Greek kyparissos.

Cypress has the tall, dark, dramatic quality of the tree itself — it stands apart from other botanical names with its gothic elegance. As nature names expand beyond traditional choices like Oak and Ash, Cypress offers something more distinctive: ancient, aromatic, and architecturally beautiful.
