The name Topaz is a girl's name of Greek origin. Topaz and is often added to lists like Color Names for Babies and discussed in our forums with posts like "Rate the Previous Signature!".
From the experts:
As a name, Topaz is sophisticated and sultry; as a golden gem, it's said to have healing and energizing properties and also to bring good luck-- and being the birthstone for November could make it perfect for a baby born in that month, with that final 'z' giving it some extra sizzle.
The topaz gets its name via French and Latin from Greek; it is probably ultimately of oriental origin.
There is an eponymous novel by Leon Uris--later made into a 1969 Hitchcock movie--in which Topaz was the name not of a person but a spy code name, and in the Dodie Smith novel I Capture the Castle, there is a character named Topaz Mortmain.
