rubie is English in Origin.
Rubie is a modern spelling variant of Ruby, the English given name taken from the precious gemstone. The word comes through Old French rubis/rubin and ultimately Latin ruber or rubeus, “red,” pointing to the stone’s vivid hue. As a name it connotes warmth, vitality, and love; the ruby is also the traditional birthstone for July. The spelling Rubie echoes earlier English forms seen in Middle English.
Adopted as a given name in the late 19th century, Rubie/Ruby rose with the Victorian taste for jewel names, peaked in the early 1900s, and saw a broad revival from the 1990s onward in the UK, US, and Australia. It is chiefly feminine but has occasional male use. Variants and related forms include Ruby, Rubi (Spanish and modern English), Rubye, Rubey, and elaborations such as Rubina; Spanish and Catalan Rubí is also found. Nicknames include Ru/Rue and Roo.
