The name of the gem is based on the tale of Artaban, a wise man from Persia who set out to meet the Three Wise Men and purchased three great gems, one of which was a sapphire, to present as a gift to the newborn king.
The story is an addition and expansion of the account of the Biblical Magi, recounted in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
