Meaning of Sapphire

Sapphire dances onto the tongue like a fiesta in full swing, bright as the Caribbean sky at noon. She began her journey in ancient Greece, where the word “sappheiros” meant a deep-blue gem fit for the gods, and she has been turning heads ever since. Story goes, kings slipped the stone into their crowns, monks tucked it into their sleeves, and sailors prayed to it for calm seas—¡qué drama! Today the name still flashes like sunlight on ocean waves, calling up images of September birthdays, star-studded nights, and secret treasure chests. She sounds modern, yet she carries centuries of sparkle, so parents get the best of both worlds—history in one hand, dazzle in the other. Little Sapphire may be tiny now, but the name hints she will grow into a girl who shines, laughs, and always colors outside the lines.
