Thinking about the name
Sapphire
Greek origin
“The direct English word for the precious blue gemstone, derived from Greek sappheiros. When used as a name, Sapphire carries luxury, rarity, and vivid imagery—evoking both the stone's deep blue color and qualities of wisdom and calm. It's a modern gem name (literally) that feels both mystical and grounded.”
