Etymology
Murasakiiro (紫色) - Murasakiiro comes from Murasaki (紫) meaning "purple", an obvious reference to her alter ego Cure Lavender and the color she represents. And Iro (色) meaning "color". Together, Murasakiiro means "purple" or "purple colored". So her complete last name is a reference to Cure Lavender.

Amethyst (ルベライト) - Amethyst is a purple quartz believed by the ancient Romans to prevent drunkenness. The word amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethystus" meaning not drunken, or intoxicated. Amethyst is a semiprecious stone and is the traditional birthstone for February.

Cure Lavender - Her Cure Alias Lavender is based on the given name which comes from the English word for the aromatic flower or the pale purple colour. The name Lavender is a derivative of the Latin word "lavare," which means "to wash". It was a herb used for bathing rituals in Roman times.

Nicknames
Ame (アメ) - Ame is the way FairySina calls Amethyst. As an actual Japanese word, Ame (雨) means "rain", but this has nothing to do with Amethyst.

Amy (エイミー) - Another nickname for Amethyst, used by FairySina. The name "Amy" comes form the old French name Amée meaning "beloved".
