L'histoire du prénom

Lale — the tulip, a flower that bloomed on the slopes of Anatolia and Iran for four millennia before Europe noticed it. As a name it captures what is precious and yet small and brief.

Étymologie

Racine: lale · Persian / Kurmancî

Lale is the tulip — a flower native to Anatolia, the Caucasus and the Iranian plateau long before its 17th-century European fashion. The Persian word is the source of Turkish lale, Kurdish lale, and (via Turkish) of European tulip itself.
