Virve Origin and Meaning

The name Virve is a girl's name meaning "sprout, shoot; shimmer, ripple".

A sparkly, spirited choice, Virve is related to plant growth and to shimmering, wavering light. From its "spouting, shooting" meaning, it gets a springy feel, associated with beginnings and new growth. From its shimmering meaning, it is connected to glistening light and to will o' the wisps (via Finnish Virva and the word virvatuli), giving it a more mystical vibe.
