 Heather is the name of a flower, usually used in books as flowers found on moors. It was introduced in the late 19th century along with other botanical names. The name took off in the late 20th century, especially in the U.S. where its association with Scotland usually ended up lending it an upperclass aura. In the last decade [90's] it was the 38th most popular female name.

 The name of Heather makes you easy-going and refined, but detracts from your physical vitality. You desire all the finer things in life--lovely clothes, home, furniture, and environment. However, procrastination is your worst enemy, and you find yourself lacking the ambition to make your dreams a reality. People are inclined to take advantage of your sympathetic, tractable nature. You naturally attract people with problems who seek your understanding and advice. You can give good advice although it is unlikely that you would follow it yourself. You would be most successful in situations where you can use your skills in diplomacy in handling people, but where you are not under pressure or required to carry responsibility and make decisions. It is difficult for you to be individual and make your own decisions, for you lack self-confidence.
