MEANING & HISTORY

What does Magnólia mean?

An academic onomastic study explicitly treats Magnólia as a flower-derived personal name, including its use in Jorge Amado’s Cacau. The botanical word ultimately honors the French botanist Pierre Magnol.

The immediate association is the flowering tree and its blossom, while Magnol explains the scientific name’s historical formation.
