Ruby, one of the most popular gemstone names today, is derived from the Latin word ruber, meaning "red." It can double as a color name thanks to its distinguished red color and is the traditional birthstone of July. Ruby was a top-50 girl's name in the U.S. every year between 1901 and 1935, but slowly declined over the rest of the 20th century and fell as far back as 401st in 1986. It made a return to the top-200 in 2003 and has been a top-100 girl's name since 2013. Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx (Ruby Feranna), "This Morning" presenter Sian Welby (Ruby Beckett), "Spiderman" actor Tobey Maguire (Ruby Sweetheart) and WNBA star Breanna Stewart (Ruby Mae) each have a daughter named Ruby.
