Ancient root and name story

Origin: Ruby comes simply from the name of the precious stone. Meaning: the gem word derives from Medieval Latin rubinus, ultimately from Latin rubeus meaning 'red'.

The ruby is the traditional birthstone of July, which adds a warm, celebratory association to the name. This is a gem name in the same family as other jewel-inspired choices.

Ruby came into use as a given name in the 16th century and has remained a bright, classic option. Its appeal rests on the rich red stone rather than on any longer personal name.
