If you wish for baby to have a beautiful and unique Greek name in honor of their heritage, the name Athanasia, meaning “immortal” or “eternal life,” is a wonderful choice. This name is often recognized in relation to the bright golden yellow flower usually found in southern Africa. However, there once was a saint called Athanasia of Aegina who performed healing miracles while serving as an abbess. So as your little Athanasia grows up, the little sunshine-colored flower will give them a reason to smile and their name can remind them to help others in need.
