Snow

The name 'Snow' is directly derived from the English word for frozen precipitation. As a given name, it is relatively rare and often falls into the category of nature-inspired names. Its usage as a personal name is more recent, gaining some traction in the late 20th and 21st centuries, particularly in English-speaking countries. It evokes images of purity, cold, and winter.

Historically, 'Snow' has been used more commonly as a surname, indicating a connection to someone who lived in a snowy region, had very pale skin or hair, or was associated with snow in some other way. Its transition to a first name is part of a broader trend of using evocative, descriptive words as names, often for their aesthetic or symbolic qualities.
