Tis’ the era of all things unique and special; and this includes choosing the name for your newborn baby. A lot of people genuinely believe that the name that is given at birth sculpts an individual’s personality and destiny.
All parents have great hopes and desires for their little ones and a word that embodies bright and positive things is “silver”. You may think silver is just a color but this shade symbolizes many splendid things like wealth, grace, wisdom, luck, and success.
Silver is also famously symbolic of hope and optimism. One of the most famous phrases by English poet John Milton; “Every cloud has a silver lining” which later turned into a metaphor is the perfect example of how silver has been used as a connotation of something positive and promising.
Here is a list of male and female names from across the globe, which have different connotations of “silver”.
