Jewel or small, dainty trinket
Derived from the French word for jewel, this name emerged as a term of endearment before becoming a given name. It carries a sense of preciousness and delicate beauty, often associated with something small and finely crafted. While rare in the United States, it maintains a chic, international appeal.
