The meaning of Pansy
Behind the Name says Pansy comes from the English word for a type of flower, ultimately from the Old French pensee, meaning “thought.” Wikipedia explains that Pansy is an English feminine given name and one of many botanical names that came into fashion in the English-speaking world during the Victorian era. It remained in occasional use through the 1950s. A Pansy has a name that means “thought,” which suits a diary where thoughts are written down.

How popular is Pansy?
Pansy never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart shows it in the top 1,000 for 73 years between 1880 and 1952, best at 287th in 1887 and 935th in 1952. Wikipedia says it declined in the second half of the 20th century because the word was used as a pejorative term, so a Pansy today has a rare vintage name.

Why a name on the cover matters
