About Jewel
Just like Flora is for botanicals, Jewel is the generic gemstone name, not used much since the early twentieth century, when it was seen as a symbol of how precious a daughter could be. The French version, Bijou, feels more modern, as do Pearl and Ruby.
Jewel is also given to boys, where it ranks #8547 in the US.
Pronounced JOO-ul.
As of November 2026, Jewel ranked #1514 for girls and #8547 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #198 for girls in 1904 and #410 for boys in 1907.
