Origin:Swiss
Other Origin(s):Greek
Meaning:Hyacinth flower, larkspur flower
Hiazinta is a Romansh feminine name of Latin and Greek origin to celebrate your little one's budding potential. Stemming from the Latin Hyacinthus and Greek Hyakinthos, Hiazinta is a Swiss alternative to Hyacintha and refers to the hyacinth flower, or "larkspur flower." Rooted in Greek mythology, Hyakinthos was a handsome Spartan warrior whom the gods Apollo and Zephyros loved dearly. In the heat of an argument during a game of discus, the gods accidentally killed Hyakinthos. Out of despair for Hyakinthos' tragic death, Apollo transformed him into the larkspur flower. With its undertones of metamorphosis and theme of death and rebirth, Hiazinta holds layers of meaning like the hyacinth flower and its many blossoms.
