History & Origin

Diamonds takes the everyday English word, the plural of the gem, as a given name. The underlying word travels from Greek adamas, unbreakable or hardest, through Latin and Old French into English, the same root that gives us 'adamant'. As a name it joins the jewel tradition of Ruby, Pearl and Opal, but in an emphatic plural form.

Diamonds was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the early nineteen-nineties, and it faded within a decade. A girl named Diamonds then is in her mid-thirties today.

Did you know? Diamonds is unusual for taking the plural rather than the singular Diamond, giving it an emphatic, abundance-flavored feel that sets it apart from the more common jewel names Diamond, Ruby and Pearl.
