Topaz
Greek gem name
Topaz Origin and Meaning
The name Topaz is a girl's name of Greek origin.
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 it's one of the perfect names for November babies, 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.
