Jaide is English in Origin.

Jaide is a modern English respelling of Jade, the gemstone name. The word jade entered English via French jade, from Spanish piedra de la ijada, "stone of the flank," a reference to the belief it soothed kidney or loin ailments. As a given name, Jaide therefore means "jade, precious green stone," carrying long-standing associations of purity, wisdom, balance, and good fortune, especially in East Asian traditions where the stone is revered.

Used as a first name only rarely before the 20th century, Jade (and by extension Jaide) rose sharply from the 1970s with the vogue for nature and word names. It is unisex but more common for girls in English-speaking countries, peaking in the 1990s-2000s. Jaide serves as a distinctive spelling while keeping the usual pronunciation "Jade" (jayd). Close variants include Jade, Jayde, Jaid, and Jadee; diminutives Jae and Jadie. International cognates include Italian Giada and French/Spanish Jade.
