Pink is a delightful hue that connotes several positive feelings and attributes. Since the color is commonly associated with femininity, several parents look for baby names meaning ‘pink’ for their little princess. But did you know that pink as a baby name was not always associated with girls or femininity? In the 19th century, blue was frequently linked with girls, while pink was considered a more fitting color for boys. However, this gendered perception changed over time (1). Since then, the significance of pink-themed names has gradually evolved, encompassing historical, cultural, and traditional aspects. Pink symbolizes love, compassion, and nurturing abilities in many cultural connotations and associations. In addition, it is traditionally linked to feminine attributes like delicateness, beauty, charm, and grace. In the Hindu festival of Holi, pink represents happiness, love, and the arrival of spring (2). Similarly, the cherry blossom (sakura) season, distinguished by delicate pink blooms, holds great cultural significance in traditional Japanese culture and symbolizes the fleeting aspect of life and beauty (3).In fashion and design, pink signifies playfulness, youthfulness, and innocence. It's a go-to color for festivities, weddings, and other celebratory events. In addition, strategic branding and marketing campaigns worldwide often use pink and its hues to convey sentiments of femininity, sweetness, and charm. Pink has also been used as a sign of advocacy and self-determination. The pink ribbon has become a universal representation of breast cancer awareness (4).
