Meaning:
Color of natural wool; Neutral color
Beige is a feminine name of French origin, initially given to the color of natural wool before it has been dyed. Beige is a neutral color, often described as a light, greyish tan or a pale sandy brown. Beige is also considered an English surname derived from the French le Beche, introduced during the Norman Conquest of 1066. To give Beige a dash of celestial brilliance, a group of astronomers from Johns Hopkins University determined the average color of the universe to be “cosmic latte”—an incredibly light beige. Whether you love its neutral calmness or galactic undertones, Beige is a one-of-a-kind name for a baby who won’t have the wool pulled over their eyes.
