Life has given you your baby Lemon; how lucky are you? Despite what the common phrase might say about turning lemons into lemonade, we’re sure your little one’s arrival will bring only love, happiness, and lots of squeezes! When you first hear this one-of-a-kind name, you’ll probably think of the zesty citrus fruit, often used in drinks, pastries, and desserts. But, just like the lemon tree, this gender-neutral name has roots that lead in a completely different direction. In Middle English, the word leman was a nickname for a “lover” or “sweetheart,” a sign that your baby Lemon will be as sweet as pie! While more commonly a surname, Lemon makes a refreshingly unique option for a first name.
