Peridot is the fresh yellow-green gem and Augusts birthstone, said to be born of the light.
Bright and springlike, it is an unusual and pretty jewel name.
Peridot does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Peridot reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
