Heliotrope Name meanings & History

Heliotrope is derived from two Greek words – "helios" meaning sun and "tropos" meaning turn. In Greek mythology, the sun god Apollo turned the nymph Clytie into a heliotrope flower, which always turns its head towards the sun. Refers to a flowering plant (Heliotropium) whose tiny flowers range from white to blue or purple, and by extension the color, a pink-purple tint, inspired by the flower. It is derived from the Ancient Greek Ἥλιος (helios) "sun" and τροπεῖν (tropein) "to turn", because of the belief that heliotrope flowers turned to face the direction of the sun. Heliotrope can be used as a first name for both boys and girls. It is a name that is associated with the sun and has a pleasant and unique sound. It can also be used as a middle name or a nickname.
