What Upul means
Where Upul comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Upul begins far from Poland. The name reaches back through Sinhala to the Sanskrit word "utpala", the blue water lily that opens on still ponds. From that flower came a colour, and from the colour a stone. This is why the short meaning holds two blue things at once, a lily and a sapphire.
A Polish reader meets no Upul in the old calendars. There is no name-day for it, and no diminutive worn smooth by use. On a form at the urząd it would sit plainly, four letters, easy to spell. That is rare for a name brought from so far.
The blue lily came first. It stays blue. Sapphire is a second sense, laid over the flower once the colour had a name of its own. Whoever carries Upul carries "utpala", the lotus on the water.
