History & Origin

Jadah is a spelling of Jada, which American families overwhelmingly read as a name-form of jade. The gemstone's name reached English through Spanish piedra de ijada, 'stone of the flank,' from an old belief that the stone eased pain in the side. A quite separate Jada appears in the Hebrew Bible in Chronicles as a man's name, but that is not the usual route here. Jada rose sharply in the nineteen-nineties, and the -ah spelling followed (said 'JAY-duh').

It appears only in very small numbers against the commoner Jada. Rare, bright, and gem-flavoured.

Did you know? Jade's name comes from Spanish piedra de ijada, 'stone of the flank' - the stone was once believed to relieve pain in the side.
