Does anyone have suggestions for baby names that are derived from crystal/gemstone names?

A couple I have seen so far but not sure of are -
Amethyst
Onyx
Topaz
Lazuli

I'm not sure about any of these ones so looking to see if anyone has other suggestions

I love Jacinta, only heard of Irish people using it. Which doesn't really make sense to me?

I know a Topaz.

I love the name Sapphira which is similar to Sapphire. And the nickname Saffy is so cute! ❤️

HPLikecraft · 13/09/2018 23:22

Couple of posters saying Ebony... that's wood! Confused.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/09/2018 10:20

TheWinterofOurDiscountTentsMk2 · 14/09/2018 12:37

Tourmaline and Citrine etc? OP asked for names for actual humans....Hmm

ladycarlotta · 14/09/2018 14:42

I know a Sapphire, who is lovely. Garnet is very distinguished, particularly for a boy (Garnett?)

Totally agree someone's got to bring Beryl back!

Skyejuly · 14/09/2018 17:40

All 3 of my girls have gemstone names...it wasnt intentional. Just names I liked. All are mentioned here.
