Oleander Origin and Meaning

The name Oleander is a boy's name .

The name of this pretty Mediterranean shrub is reminiscent of popular classic Oliver, and interestingly its etymology appears to overlap too: oleander most likely derives from Greek rhododendron "rose tree", with its form successively influenced by laurea "laurel" and olea "olive tree".

This unisex choice might make for an especially handsome floral option for a boy.
