A name that means "precious thing (bruno mars song + treasure island)".

Treasure is from the Old French tresor / Greek thēsauros (a thing stored up, precious wealth) — a modern American word-name in the broader 2000s-2010s aesthetic. A top-1000 US baby name since 2007. The 2010s American naming wave of pure abstract-concept words has been one of the most-studied phenomena in modern US naming registries.
