History & Origin

Jadea is a coined American girls' name recorded from 1988, extending the popular gem name Jade. The -ea ending, fashionable in that era, turns a crisp one-syllable name into a softer three-beat one while keeping the jewel meaning.

It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its early-2000s high. A girl named Jadea then is in her twenties now.

Did you know? The Jade in Jadea takes its name from a stone once believed to ease pains in the side, the 'stone of the flank.'
