Jacinth

The meaning of Jacinth is ‘precious stone’. It is a name typically given to girls and is of Greek origin. It derives from the Greek word ‘huakinthos', which in English means 'hyancinth' and is a flowering plant. There is a precious gemstone named Jacinth due to the color it possesses which is very similar to the orange-red color commonly associated with a Hyacinth flower. Hyacinthus was the name of a Spartan prince who was Apollo's lover in Greek mythology. He was believed to have been killed in an accident that Apollo caused, but there was a conspiracy that it was Zephyrus, who had a rivalry with Apollo over Hyacinth's love. According to legend, when Hyacinth died, Apollo grew flowers from the blood of a Hyacinth. In the Bible, a Jacinth was also known as a 'leshem', and was a part of a holy breastplate worn by the Israelites' High Priest called the 'breastplate of judgment'.

Lucky

Jacinth lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
