Jacinthe is French in Origin.
Jacinthe is the French feminine form of the ancient Greek name Hyakinthos, transmitted through Latin Hyacinthus and Old French Hyacinthe. It denotes the hyacinth flower and, by extension, the jacinth gemstone (a reddish zircon), both ultimately linked to the myth of Hyacinthus, the beautiful youth mourned by Apollo from whose blood the flower sprang. In modern French the J- spelling marks the feminine, while Hyacinthe is more often masculine.
Use of Jacinthe appears sporadically in France, rising with the 19th–20th‑century taste for floral names and finding particular favor in francophone Canada; it remains uncommon in the English-speaking world. Religious associations persist via cognate saints such as Italian Giacinta and Portuguese Jacinta. Notable variants include Hyacinth (English, rare), Hyacinthe (French, chiefly masculine), Jacynthe (Québec), Jacinta (Spanish/Portuguese), Giacinta (Italian), and Jacintha (Dutch/English); related English word-form Jacinth names the gemstone.
