Jade Origin and Meaning

The name Jade is a boy's name meaning "gemstone".

When Jade first took off as a given name back in the 1970's, it was in fact considered unisex. It ranked in the US Top 1000 first for boys, then for girls, 7 years later. By the 80's however, Jade was more familiar as a girls' name and by the 2000's, it was gone from the charts for boys.

Nonetheless, more than 60 boys are still given the name Jade each year, and with Jasper, Onyx, and similar sounding Jude on the rise, perhaps Jade could be seen as a fresh spin on Jay, Jayden, or James in the future.
