Meaning & Origin
A female given name.
Jayde is a girl's and boy's baby name of Spanish origin, a variant spelling of Jade, from the Spanish jade (from piedra de ijada, 'stone of the flank'), naming the green stone believed to cure kidney ailments, meaning 'green gemstone, precious stone.'
The E ending gives this gemstone name a slightly more feminine, elaborate appearance. Jade/Jayde names have been fashionable since the 1990s, and Jayde's variant spelling sets it apart from the common Jade while keeping the same crystalline, green-stone imagery that makes the original so appealing.
