Rubi Origin and Meaning
The name Rubi is a girl's name meaning "ruby; precious gemstone, lapis lazuli + beautiful".
The Spanish and Portuguese form of popular Ruby is another addition to the list of attractive gem names for girls, that might sometimes be used by English speaking parents who want their child's name to stand out when written down. Rubi is also of Japanese origin, and associated with another gemstone: the lapis lazuli.
Notable bearers include Paralympic badminton player Rubi Fernández, and rapper and model Rubi Rose. It also appears on a character in the long running British comic, The Beano, and in the animated TV series spin off — in this case, however, it is actually a nickname for Rubidium.
