Thinking about the name
Ruby
Latin origin
“Derived from the Latin Rubeus meaning 'red,' Ruby is named after the precious gemstone prized for its deep crimson color and historical significance in crowns and royal regalia. The name emerged as a gemstone name in the Victorian era and became a major cultural touchstone through literature, music, and film. It balances vintage charm with timeless appeal, evoking both luxury and warmth.”
