Does the word jewellery come from 'Jew'?

No. The word Jewelry, or rather, the root jewel, comes from Old French jouel, which seems to relate to jocale, a Medieval Vulgar Latin word meaning "that which causes joy". Curiously, this puts it as a relative of joke, from the same origin. There are other theories about Jewel, but none touch on Jews and all trace back to different Latin words.


What is City of Jewels in Latin language?

In Latin, the English word "City" would be "Urbs," which could possibly be where we get our modern day English word "Urban" from. The Latin word for the English word "Jewel" would probably be "Gemma," from which we get the English word "Gem." So it might be something like "Urbs de Gemmae." I'm not 100% positive on this, but it's a start! ~Boogie~
