I didn't know it was more common among African Americans either. I've only ever heard Diamond as a surname; it sounds weirdly cold and formal to me.
Also, although I like most of them, I'd say gemstone names as a group are considered a bit tacky, but they've all got different vibes (for example, Pearl has a redneck vibe to me, and Topaz has a hippie/flaky vibe)...and most people I know with gemstone names (except for Jade, actually) are white.
