What is the meaning of the name Diamond ?

The baby name Diamond is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdaɪ.əmənd/ (DY-ə-mənd).

Diamond is English in Origin.

Diamond is an English given name taken from the gemstone, ultimately from Old French diamant, Latin adamas/diamantem, and Greek adamas, meaning “unconquerable” - a nod to the stone’s famed hardness. It joined other jewel names in the late Victorian era and reappeared in modern charts with notable U.S. popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly in African American naming trends influenced by pop culture. Though technically unisex, contemporary usage skews female.

International and variant forms include Diamant (French, German, and Scandinavian), Diamante (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), Diamantina (Portuguese), and Diamanda (a modern Greek-influenced elaboration). Lithuanian equivalents are Deimante (feminine) and Deimantas (masculine). Common nicknames are Dia, Di, and Didi. As a given name and surname, Diamond conveys associations of brilliance, rarity, clarity, and resilience - qualities that many parents find symbolically appealing.
