What is the meaning of the name Jade ?

The baby name Jade is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒeɪd/ (JAYD).

Jade is in Origin.

Jade is an English given name taken from the green gemstone. The word comes from Spanish piedra de ijada, "stone of the flank," a reference to the belief that jade healed abdominal and kidney pain; it entered English via French in the 16th century. As a personal name it is modern and unisex, though chiefly feminine in English-speaking countries, rising from the 1970s (helped by Jade Jagger) and ranking highly in France and the UK.

Meaning centers on the gemstone’s associations with harmony, protection, and good fortune; East Asian traditions (Chinese yu) reinforce these ideas, though the English name is not from Chinese. Spelling variants include Jayde, Jaide, and Jadie; the Italian cognate is Giada, and Jada also appears in English. Jade is used as a surname and remains widely used in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.
