Origin:Japanese
Meaning:Japanese poem
Inspired by the phrase haikai no ku, Haiku is the name given to Japanese poems and is favored by poetry-loving parents for girls. This style of literature comprises three lines: the first containing five syllables, the second seven, and the third five. As carefully cultivated as these poems are, they are unrhyming—celebrating baby’s beauty, cleverness, and unpredictability in one fell swoop. A name like Haiku is ideal for your little muse, whose very existence is poetry brought to life.
