Berylla is named after [[wikipedia:beryl|beryl]], a type of mineral which includes emerald and aquamarine. The name beryl (Latin ''beryllus'') derives from Prakrit ''vēruliya'', referring to the city name Vēlūr of India.<ref>[Jim Allan]] (ed.), ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', "Giving of Names"</ref>

Perhaps it's not unintentional that a Hobbit woman with a jewel-name married into the Baggins family, recently made rich by Bilbo's travels. Both Berylla's marriage and name suggest that the Boffins were of a higher class.<ref>[[Jim Allan]] (ed.), ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', pointed out in p. 198</ref>
