The precious metal or the color of the moon
Derived from the English word for the precious metal, which ultimately comes from the Old English 'seolfor'. It has long been used as a name denoting value, brightness, and the shimmering quality of the moon. While historically more common as a surname, it has emerged as a rare, gender-neutral nature name in recent decades.
