Willow
We adore the name Willow for a little girl. It, of course, comes from the weeping willow tree which is known for being graceful and flexible, which are lovely qualities to have in personality. Willow trees also happen to be quite beautiful to look at.
Lynx
This one is really cool and interesting. When you hear the word Lynx, you may immediately think of the big cat of the same name, but did you know that in mythology, lynxs are considered "keepers of the secrets of the forests?"
Isla
Isla is such a pretty name that's become quite popular in the United States over the past several years. It has Scottish origins and refers to an island off the coast of that country called the Isle of Islay. It is also thought to mean "devoted to God," in Spanish.

Hollis is a really nice name option that also refers to trees without being quite so overt. It's English and means "dweller at the holly trees," which are the beautiful evergreens that we often see during the Christmas season.
Briony
Briony is a really uncommon name for a girl that has roots in England. It refers to the bryony plant that is common throughout the UK, and is thought to mean "vine" or in Greek, it means "to sprout."
Rowan
Rowan is a popular name that refers to a person with red hair in Gaelic, but that association actually comes from the stunning rowan tree, which boasts bunches of bright red pods.
