The
name comes from the Greek word onyx which means nail of a finger or
claw. Legend says that one day while Venus was sleeping Eros/Cupid cut
her fingernails and left the clippings scattered on the ground.
Because no part of a heavenly body can die, the gods turned them into
stone which later became known as onyx.
