Gold Origin and Meaning
The name Gold is a girl's name meaning "gold, yellow precious metal, deep yellow, yellow brown color".
While vintage Goldie and floral Marigold are rising stars, succinct and wordy Gold is a far rarer choice, but akin to the likes of Onyx, Pearl, Sapphire, and Jade. Given to around 25 babies since the 2010s, it could feel particularly sparkling in the middle spot.
Love the idea of Gold but find it a little too extravagant for a baby name? You could consider the aforementioned Marigold and Goldie, or a 'golden' name such as Cressida, Aurelia, Orla, Rosaura, or Xanthe.
