Amaryllis Name Details

In Greek mythology, Amaryllis was a shepherdess who fell in love with the shepherd Alteo. She desired his love so much that she pierced her heart with a golden arrow regularly for 30 nights to show her devotion. On the 31st night, beautiful red flowers sprouted from the blood that dropped onto the ground, resulting in the naming of the flower 'Amaryllis' as well. The name Amaryllis gained popularity as a given name in the 19th century.
