Jewel
[ˈdʒuː.əl]Meaning
from the English word jewel, a precious stone, via Old French jouel
Background Story
The name comes in part from the English word jewel, a precious stone, derived from Old French jouel, which was possibly related to jeu, "game". It also comes in part from the surname Jewel or Jewell, a derivative of the Breton name Judicaël, sometimes used in honour of the 16th-century bishop of Salisbury John Jewel. It has been in use as a given name since the 19th century, and is used in Esperanto.
