What is the meaning of the name Spring ?

The baby name Spring is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /sprɪŋ/ (SPRING).

Spring is English in Origin.

Spring is an English word name taken from the season and the verb spring, from Old English springan, “to leap, burst forth.” It evokes renewal, growth, and new beginnings, and also recalls a natural spring of water, a sense that fed its use as an English surname from topographic places. The seasonal term replaced “Lent” in Middle English, fixing Spring as the name of the year’s time of rebirth.

As a given name, Spring has appeared intermittently since the 19th century and surfaced in American records through the early 20th; actress Spring Byington offers a notable bearer. The name saw small waves of use during the 1960s–70s nature-name revival and remains rare yet recognizable today as a gently bohemian, gender-neutral choice. Related forms and cognates include Primavera (Italian/Spanish), Printemps (French, seldom used as a given name), Haru (Japanese), Vesna (Slavic), Verna/Vernal (Latin ver-), and the floral Primrose.
