Jewel

The name Jewel is an English word derived from the Old French 'jouel', which in turn comes from the Latin 'jocale', meaning 'plaything' or 'jewel'. It is a name that refers to a precious gemstone or valuable decorative item.

Giving a child the name Jewel may be seen as a way to convey a sense of rarity, beauty, and value. The name can also be associated with concepts of wealth, luxury, and elegance.

While Jewel is most commonly used as a girl's name, it can also be considered a gender-neutral name, as the concept of a precious gemstone is not inherently masculine or feminine.
