Primrose: meaning and origin
Behind the Name says Primrose comes from the English word for the flower, ultimately from the Latin prima rosa, “first rose.” Wikipedia agrees, and adds that the name came into vogue in the Victorian era and early 20th century, especially in the United Kingdom, along with other plant and flower names for girls. A Primrose is named for one of the first flowers of spring.
