Diamond
mineral · late-nineties · unblinking
Origin & Meaning
AI-WrittenBorrowed directly from the noun for the gemstone, which traces through Old French back to the Greek adamas, meaning untamed or indestructible. While scattered across the ledger starting in 1897, it operated on the margins of American naming until a sharp upward run in the 1990s. It represents the height of the turn-of-the-century jewel naming trend.
