The name
'topaz' is thought by many to be derived from the ancient Sanskrit
word tapas meaning fire. Another theory which was first put forth by
Pliny in the first century A.D. is that the name topaz was derived
from the Greek word topazos or topazion meaning to seek, which was
the name of an island in the Red Sea (known today as 'Zeberget', or
the 'Island of St. John') which is thought to have been an ancient
source for the gem peridot, but not topaz.
