History & Origin

Jadi is a modern, informal-feeling name that most likely grows out of Jade or the older Jodi. Its exact route is uncertain, so its charm is in its sound rather than a documented meaning, and it appeared only sparsely in American records.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak in the late nineteen-nineties, and it faded quickly. A girl named Jadi then is a young adult today.

Did you know? Jadi fits a run of breezy two-syllable ending-in-ee names, and though it feels fresh it never rose beyond a handful of babies a year.
