OriginMiddle English: from Old French e(s)meraud, ultimately via Latin from Greek (s)maragdos, via Prakrit from Semitic (compare with Hebrew bāreqeṯ, from bāraq 'flash, sparkle'). The word emerald can be traced back to Greek smaragdos, and ultimately to an ancient Hebrew verb meaning ‘flash or sparkle’. In early English examples the word's meaning is vague, and does not necessarily refer to a green stone. Ireland has been called the Emerald Isle, on account of its lush greenery, since as long ago as 1795. See also diamond
