What is the meaning of the name Elmas ?

The baby name Elmas is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /elˈmas/ — el-MAS (Turkish).

Elmas is Arabic, Turkish in Origin.

Elmas is a Turkish given name meaning “diamond,” taken directly from the common noun. It descends from Arabic al-mās and Persian almas, both ultimately tracing to Greek adámas “indomitable,” the ancient root behind the word diamond in many languages. In Turkish it is used chiefly for girls, though comparable forms in other Turkic languages can be unisex or masculine.

Gemstone names flourished in the Ottoman era (alongside İnci “pearl,” Zümrüt “emerald,” Yakut “ruby”), and Elmas remains in steady use in modern Turkey and across the Turkic world. Regional variants include Azerbaijani Əlmas, and Almas in Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Bashkir, Persian, Arabic, and Russian contexts (often masculine). A Bosniak feminine form Elmasa appears in the Balkans via Ottoman influence. Related Turkish names with similar luster include Zümrüt/Zümra and Yakut. Elmas conveys brilliance, rarity, and resilience, making it a concise, elegant choice.
