Topaz, derived from the Greek word 'topazos,' directly translates to 'to heat.' This unique gemstone-derived name is of Greek origin and has been traditionally used as a gender-neutral name. The topaz stone itself is known for its warm hues ranging from golden yellow to pale pinkish orange. It's also the official birthstone for November, making it an ideal choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their child born during this month.
The name Topaz experienced its peak popularity between the years of 1977 to 1996 with a notable spike in 1989 having 17 births that year alone. However, since then, it has seen a significant decline in usage, with only 5 or fewer births recorded each year from 2004 onwards. Overall, there have been 299 births named Topaz between the years 1971 and 2023.
