What Does the Name Jhade Mean?
Jhade is a modern respelled form of the given name Jade, which is taken from the ornamental stone rather than from an ancient personal name. The English word jade reached English through French jade (earlier l'ejade) from Spanish piedra de ijada, "stone of the flank," in which ijada means "flank, side." That Spanish noun comes from Latin ilia, the plural of ile, "groin, flank." The stone was named for the belief that wearing or applying it eased kidney and flank pain, so the literal sense of the root is anatomical. The customary meaning of the name today is simply the green gemstone; the "flank" sense belongs to the word's origin, not to a symbolic reading of the name.
Jhade Name History & Origins
The gemstone word entered European languages in the sixteenth century, when Spanish explorers encountered the material in Central America and carried the Spanish term into French and then English. As a personal name, Jade is a twentieth-century development in English-speaking countries, where gem and mineral words were adopted as given names. Jhade belongs to the same modern naming habit of respelling an established name, in this case by adding an h after the initial j. That inserted h is decorative; it does not mark a different word, a different language of origin, or a separate line of descent.
The name should not be confused with Jada, which has its own separate background in Hebrew and Arabic and is not a source of Jhade. Documented use of the exact spelling Jhade is thin and recent, so its history is largely the history of Jade plus a spelling variation rather than an independent tradition with older recorded forms.
