NAME OF THE DAY: Emerald

St. 🍀Patrick's Day is right around the corner — the infectiously fun, 💚green themed holiday where on 📅March 17, "everyone is Irish" — originating obviously in Ireland "where St. 🍀Patrick’s Day has been a religious feast day since the 17th century and a public holiday since 1903."

Ireland is nicknamed "The Emerald Isle" because of the country's greenery — initially referring to Ireland as such in the celebrated poem 📃'When Erin First Rose' by William Drennan.

So to get into the spirit of St. Paddy's Day approaching 🎉 I will talk about the lush name: 📛💚Emerald

💚"Emerald is of Persian origin meaning "green,"" 📛Nameberry🍒 explains. 💚"Emerald is the intriguing color and jewel name of the deep green stone treasured as far back as ancient Egypt — it's supposed to open one's heart to wisdom and to love and be good for strengthening relationships — which could make for an interesting, unusual name, particularly with the popularity of so many Em-starting names. 💚Emerald is the birthstone of May, making it extra appropriate for a girl born in that month." 

👶Baby 💙boys have also been named 💚Emerald. I don't like 💚Emerald however as a 💙boy's name unless perhaps it's the middle 📛name.

📛NB🍒 reports that 💚Emerald ranks #707 in the US Top 1000. 📍California & 📍District of Columbia are where the most 💚Emeralds live in the United States. 

A variant of 💚Emerald is 📛Esmeralda (means 💚"emerald" in Spanish).

I really like the name 📛💚Emerald — it's very beautiful (whether chosen for a 🌈color or 💎jewel name — or to honor one's Irish heritage) and has a certain, sparkling✨ charm to it.
