History & Origin

Jadalyn is a modern U.S. coinage. Its first element, Jade, names the green stone prized in China and Mesoamerica and reached English through Spanish piedra de la ijada, 'stone of the flank'. The -lyn close is a twentieth-century American suffix, borrowed from Lynn. The blend is contemporary; routes uncertain, which we note (said 'JAD-uh-lin').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. and is newly emerging. Rare, gemstone-bright, and modern.

Did you know? Jadalyn dresses the gemstone name Jade in the -lyn ending that runs through Madelyn, Katelyn and Jocelyn. Jade itself came into English through Spanish, where it was called the 'stone of the flank' for its supposed healing powers.
