What girl’s names have their roots in the term 'jewel'?

Consider Jewel or its French counterpart, Bijou, as a name for your daughter. Both echo how precious your little miracle is to you. The name Jewel enjoyed popularity until the 1970s. If originality is what you seek, these options should be on your list.

Which gemstone lends itself to a much-admired girl's name?

Coloured stone jewels are a visual treat, aren't they? A striking example is the deep red Ruby. The Latin word ‘ruber’, meaning red, inspired the name. Besides, doesn’t ‘Ruby’ sound musical? Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, and the Kaiser Chiefs, among others, have composed music dedicated to ‘Ruby’. A vibrant and frequently serenaded girl's name, indeed.

What's the name for an Autumn baby?

Every month has its unique birthstone. For September, it is Sapphire, a name symbolising a life filled with success, minus setbacks. Consider Sapphire as a namesake for your daughter, especially if she's a September baby. The use of this name peaked between 2013 and 2016 but seems to have dwindled since then.

Why not choose Jade for your daughter?

Jade, an emblem of tranquillity and purity, is a widely celebrated option. Jade in jewels shields the wearer from undesirable feelings and invites harmony. Its popularity as a girl’s name peaked worldwide in 2005. Jada, a derivative of Jade, is also a considerable choice.

Which gemstone invoked Victor Hugo's imagination?

In 1831, The Hunchback of the Notre Dame, was published, marking Victor Hugo's first significant novel. The story revolves around bellringer Quasimodo's unreciprocated love for the enchanting gypsy, Esmeralda. This girl's name owes its origin to the green emerald.
