About the name Jade

Jade takes its odd literal meaning from a Spanish phrase about a stone thought to cure ailments of the side. It is one of very few gem names that reads as edgy rather than delicate, which is why it has stayed in constant use since the seventies.

Jade is a girl name of Spanish (from Latin) origin, pronounced JAYD. On the NameRarity scale it scores 35 out of 100, which places it in the popular band — a well-used favourite — expect to share it occasionally. Its strongest period was the 2000s.
