The jade gemstone
Jadee is a modern phonetic variant of the name Jade, referring to the precious green gemstone. The name of the stone is derived from the Spanish phrase 'piedra de la ijada', meaning 'stone of the side', as it was believed to cure ailments of the loins and kidneys. This specific spelling adds a playful, diminutive quality to the sleek original.
