In the USA, it remains a highly unusual choice, appealing to parents drawn to rare, nature-inspired appellations. Historically, its rare usage aligns with broader trends of geological names emerging during artistic periods. The name possesses an elegant, nature-like mood, conveying a sense of quiet strength and enduring beauty.
