Berylla is named after the 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>''[[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>''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', pointed out in p.198</ref>.
