Meaning & origin

Topacio is a Spanish gemstone name that has remained exceptionally rare in the United States since it first appeared in records in 1985. The name never ranked among the top 1,000 names, and its 1-in-N ratio suggests fewer than 5 births per year in most years. Its peak year was its debut year, 1985, after which usage has been stable but minimal. Topacio has no dominant state occurrences, reflecting its very low overall frequency. Despite its obscurity, the name fits a tradition of jewel names like Esmeralda and Rubi, and its melodic sound gives it a distinctive appeal for parents seeking a truly uncommon choice.

Topacio is the Spanish word for the gemstone topaz, derived from Latin topazus and Greek topazos, of uncertain ultimate origin. As a given name, it follows the tradition of gemstone names and first appeared in the United States in the 1980s, though it has never been widely used.
