Origin and meaning of Jade
Jade springs from the Spanish piedra de la ijada, 'stone of the flank,' because jade was believed to cure kidney and colic pains. It therefore names the precious green stone, a symbol of serenity and good fortune in many cultures. Very popular in France and the English-speaking world, where it ranks among the top girls' names, it is a modern, sparkling name with a short, decisive sound.
