Meaning & Story
From the Old English word for the prickly purple wildflower, the national emblem of Scotland, symbolizing resilience.
Thistle is a beautifully wild name borrowed from the prickly purple wildflower that serves as the national emblem of Scotland. It evokes windswept moors, rugged hillsides, and a certain tough-but-beautiful quality. Pets named Thistle tend to have a personality that matches the plant — a little prickly on the outside, but deeply beautiful when they open up. It's a gorgeous nature name for a pet with genuine character.
