Jewell Forename Meaning
User-submitted Reference
In part from the English word jewel, a precious stone, 'article of value used for adornment,'; from Anglo-French juel, Old French jouel 'ornament; present; gem, jewel', which is perhaps from Medieval Latin jocale, from Latin jocus 'pastime, sport,' in Vulgar Latin 'that which causes joy'. Another theory traces it to Latin gaudium, also with a notion of 'rejoice'.
Restricted sense of 'precious stone, gem' developed in English from early 14th century. Figurative meaning 'beloved person, admired woman' is late 14th century.
