Gem or jewel, it is a woman"s name. I am trying to figure out if post-Columbus or Mercator era scientist Gemma Frisius was a man or a woman, there are some bi-gender names like Julian so I am not sure. Gemma Frisius theorized how a modern chronometer would work, and could be used for position finding, with maps and compasses, etc. This was in, I believe l53l.
