The word "amaranthine" means "unfading", and so this comma was named by [[Lériendil]] in 2025, as it is the one portion of the structure of the undecimal [[slendric]] extensions that refuses to fade even at the high precision of a near justly tuned 8/7. It had previously been named the "convenience comma" by [[Scott Dakota]] in 2024, in a reference both to its "convenience" in extending septimal harmony to prime 11 and to the 7-11 convenience store, though this name was deemed ambiguous by virtue of coming to refer to several other commas as well.

It had previously been named the "convenience comma" by [[Scott Dakota]] in 2024, in a reference both to its "convenience" in easily extending septimal harmony and to the 7-11 convenience store (both due to bridging prime 7 to prime 11 and being 0.711 cents), though this name was deemed ambiguous by virtue of coming to refer to several other commas as well.
