Poppy is a feminine given name derived from the name of the flower "poppy", derived from the Old English popæg and referring to various species of Papaver. The name is rising in popularity in the United Kingdom. It was the 28th most popular name given to baby girls in England and Wales in 2007 and was the 72nd most popular name given to baby girls in Scotland. The popularity of the name has been attributed to the naming of Poppy Honey, a daughter of British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. Australian actress Poppy Montgomery and her sisters were named for the Flower fairies illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker.
Late Old English popig, popæg, from West Germanic *papua-, probably from Vulgar Latin *papavum, from Latin papaver "poppy," perhaps a reduplicated form of imitative root *pap- "to swell." Associated with battlefields and war dead at least since Waterloo (1815). Poppy-seed is from early 15c.; in 17c. it also was a small unit of length (less than one-twelfth of an inch).
Poppy flower, flower.
