Tanzanite got its name from Tanzania, the country where it was first discovered in 1967. The gemstone was initially marketed by Tiffany & Co., who wanted a name that highlighted its exotic origin. The name "tanzanite" was chosen to emphasize its connection to Tanzania, distinguishing it from other gemstones and enhancing its appeal in the jewelry market.
