Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Treasure is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old French origin, from the Latin thesaurus and Old French tresor meaning "treasure, riches, wealth." As a given name, it expresses the profound value parents place on their child — the ultimate precious thing.
Treasure belongs to the tradition of "precious" names — alongside Jewel, Pearl, and Ruby — that have been used in African-American communities as expressions of love and worth. It carries a bold, confident sweetness that makes a clear statement about how this child is valued.
