Meaning of the Name Acacia
The name Acacia comes from the name of the plant. It is derived, via Latin "acacia", from the Greek word "akakia", which is probably derived from the Greek word "akē" meaning "thorn" (because of its characteristic thorns).
According to another theory, Acacia could be derived from the Greek elements 'a', a Greek negative prefix, and "kakos" - "bad, evil". The name is quite popular in Australia, where acacia is a popular national symbol.
See also Akakios.
