RUBY.

ID
There seems to be no reference of
the first appearance OF Jewels as
feminine names. Neither the Bible
nor early history shows evidence of
this tendency 10 name women after
gems. Indeed etymologists do not
recognize Ruby and her sister names
as names at all and they are not
listed in the lists of cognomen.
Ruby has many equivalents in
Sanskrit and among the Hindus who
regarded the gem as the king of
precious stones but none of them
are capable of usage as a proper
name. Undoubtedly. Ruby was first
bestowed upon a child with the idea
Of likening it TO the pulsing. glow
