The bird of peace
Derived directly from the English word for the bird, which has served as a symbol of peace and the Holy Spirit for centuries. It is often associated with the biblical story of Noah, where a dove returned to the ark with an olive branch. In modern times, it is used as a gentle, nature-inspired name with a serene quality.
