Almas - Name Meaning, Origin & Popularity
The name 'Almas' is etymologically linked to the Persian word for 'diamond', which is derived from the Arabic word الْمَاس (al-mās). The term 'al-mās' itself has roots in ancient Greek, where the word ἀδάμας (adámas) signified 'unbreakable' or 'invincible'. This reflects the enduring and precious nature associated with diamonds.
In Persian culture, diamonds are highly valued and symbolize strength, beauty, and purity. The name 'Almas' carries these connotations and is often seen as a reflection of a child's potential and preciousness. It is also considered a desirable name as it evokes images of something rare and valuable.
