The 'man' bit I get: as in knight = (chess)man, but where's the 'gem' come from?
small body?
Gemma is "a small multicellular body" and knight is "N" (Chess notation)

You're welcome - especially as I hadn't guessed Gemman in the first place!
Any ideas on 25d? I've got _A_IAN - could be DAMIAN, but I'm not really sure why.
