Jade

Jade is a given name for females. It means "precious green stone"

Jade has been considered a precious stone for thousands of years, used in jewellery, weapons, and grave goods. Its name is derived from the Spanish phrase "piedra de ijada," which means "bowel stones." It was believed that jade could prevent gastrointestinal distress.

"Jade" was also slang for "perfect" or "Beautiful", and was so used in literature up through the 19th century.

The name has been increasingly popular in France since 1990. It was the 7th most given name for girls in 2005.
