Jade
Meaning of Jade
Jade dances off the tongue as “jayd,” and her story gleams like the stone itself: born from the Spanish “piedra de la ijada,” a talisman once tucked against aching sides, she traveled through French salons, then leapt into English baby books with emerald-bright charm. Think of her as a tiny piece of rainforest caught in sunlight—calm, vivid, lucky. She wears many hats: symbol of harmony in China, feisty heroine in video games, and friendly neighbor in suburban USA, where she’s hovered around the Top-100 names for years, glittering but never blinding. Jade is short, sweet, and strong, a gem you can slip in your pocket and carry from the cradle to the boardroom—olé to that!
