Anemone is Greek in Origin.

Anemone stems from the Greek anemōnē “windflower,” derived from ánemos “wind,” often rendered poetically as “daughter of the wind.” In Greek myth, anemones were said to spring from the blood of Adonis, giving the flower - and the name - associations with fleeting love and fragile beauty. The botanical genus Anemone, recorded in classical sources and standardized in Linnaean taxonomy, preserves this ancient term.

As a given name, Anemone is rare but documented in English- and German-speaking countries since the late 19th‑century vogue for nature names, with modest use in France (Anémone) and Greece (Anemoni). Variants include Anemoni (Greek Ανεμώνη), Anémone (French), Anemona (Romanian), and Anémona (Spanish/Portuguese). Diminutives and nicknames range from Mona and Annie to Emi/Emmy. The name conveys airy, delicate imagery and a literary-romantic tone, appealing to parents seeking a floral choice with classical depth.
