Jewel Baby Names, Names mean Jewels and Gems, Page 7

Choosing a Jewel baby name is a sparkling way to celebrate the most precious person in your life. Jewel baby names draw from gemstones, pearls, precious metals, and minerals, and they give your child a name with natural beauty, color, and quiet luxury. These names work for girls most often, but a growing number of jewel names also suit boys and unisex families — and they pair beautifully with almost any middle name.

Popular jewel baby names for girls include Ruby (red birthstone of July), Pearl (the ocean's gem, classic and timeless), Jade (the green stone of harmony), Opal (rainbow-fire October birthstone), Amber (fossilized tree resin, warm and golden), Beryl (the family of aquamarine and emerald), and Coral (ocean pink). More unusual picks are Onyx, Garnet, and Topaz, all of which lean unisex. For boys, try Jasper (a mottled stone, also a classic English name), Flint (sparking stone), and Sterling (silver of the highest quality). Diamond and Crystal have also been used but feel dated; Ruby and Jade are the most wearable for modern parents.

Pair a jewel first name with a softer middle (Ruby Elizabeth, Jade Marguerite) or use the jewel in the middle slot (Emma Pearl, Henry Jasper).
