Topaze is French in Origin.

Topaze is the French given name formed from the gemstone noun topaze, ultimately from Greek topazion via Latin topazius, probably named for the Red Sea island Topazos mentioned by ancient writers. In earlier sources the term often referred to peridot, but in modern usage it denotes the topaz mineral associated with golden hues and November’s birthstone.

As a given name, Topaze is rare in France and the Francophone world, appearing sporadically since the late 19th century and through the 20th, alongside the vogue for jewel names (cf. Opale, Perle). It is most often feminine today, though linguistically unisex. International variants include English Topaz, Spanish/Filipino Topacio, Italian Topazio, and Portuguese Topázio. The name conveys meanings linked to the stone: warmth, clarity, steadfastness, and protection; in European lore topaz symbolized constancy and was thought to calm tempers and guard travelers. Sleek and luminous, Topaze blends vintage charm with modern minimalism.
