Gemma

Gemma is Latin for both 'bud' and 'gem'.

This name means "precious stone" in Italian. Her nickname would, no doubt, be "Gem."

In Hebrew Gemma means dove but then me being a Gemma Dove generally means peace or peaceful. All the Gemmas I know including me are anything but.

Gemma doesn't mean "dove" in Hebrew - Jemimah does.

The word "gemma" is ancient Greek, from the words "ge"-earth and "ma", the archaic type for "meter", mother. "Gema" means "mother earth" in archaic (Mycenaen) Greek. It was the collective name of all the gems. ("Gemolithos", precious stone in Greek; "Gemologia", the study of the gems.)
