Meaning & origin
Jade entered the U.S. popularity charts in 1944 and has risen steadily since 1985. It peaked in 2002, the same decade it saw its highest usage. Currently ranking 95th in 2025, the name is given to 1 in 605 babies. Top states include Wyoming, Delaware, and Hawaii, showing broad appeal across regions.
Jade derives from the Spanish phrase 'piedra de ijada' (stone of the flank), as it was believed to cure kidney ailments. The English word and name came into use in the 18th century. As a given name, Jade gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly for girls.
