Considering Garnet as a Baby Name? The first thing you should know if you are considering Garnet for your baby's name is that in most countries all over the world the name Garnet is a unisex name, used as a boy name and a girl name. The name Garnet is of Latin origin, and is used mostly in English speaking countries but also in a few other countries and languages of the world.
Garnet was also consistently designated as the gemstone for January in the ancient Roman, Italian, Polish, Russian, Hebrew, Arabic and old Hindu (Ayurvedic) calendars. Before the gemstone was made the birthstone of January, garnet was the zodiac stone for Capricorn and Aquarius, both falling partly on the month of January. Garnet is a valuable gemstone cherished since antiquity. While most expensive in its green variety called demantoid, garnet is most commonly a red gemstone. Accordingly the color of garnet regarded as stone for January is the red garnet, which comes from several garnet species, namely, almandine, pyrope, spessartine, andradite and grossular.
