Ruby
Diminutive of Reuben
"behold, a son"Ruby Origin and Meaning
The name Ruby is a boy's name.
Though we love the Biblical name Reuben and its streamlined form Ruben, we'd caution against shortening it to Ruby for a boy. As one of the top girls' names throughout the English-speaking world, it's become too feminine for a boy.
