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". The epiosde title of The Final 03 also includes her nickname.

Cure Lavender
Cure Lavender (キュアラベンダー) is Amethyst's alter ego. She holds and controls the power of dreams. She has to be together with Cure Heather for transformation. Cure Lavender holds the power of the purple rainbow and is the partner of the guard of purple color. Along with Cure Heather, they can use Lovely Color Wave and Dreamy Kiss. Together with the others, they can use Full Rainbow Circle. And after getting the Color Palette they can use Magical Rainbow Finale.

In the German dubs, Lavender introduces herself with "Scheine, glanz der Träume! Cure Lavender!", which can be translated as "Shine, glory of dreams! Cure Lavender!".
