About the name
Fern is Old English — fearn, the ancient feathered plant older than flowers themselves; ferns unfurl, which is the gentlest verb in botany. Charlotte's Web gave the name to the girl who saved Wilbur.
Fern has crept back onto the American charts with the vintage-botanical wave — quiet, green, and entirely without thorns.
One soft syllable of forest floor. It pairs well with longer middles (Fern Evangeline, Fern Marguerite). On our vibe map it is Nature-Inspired understory with Soft & Dreamy light through leaves and a Whimsical barnyard advocate.
