What Giada means
Where Giada comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Giada is simply the Italian word for jade, the green stone. The name has no diminutive and no variant. It stands alone. The short meaning in Polish is jadeit, the same mineral under another name.
The Latin root sits behind the stone rather than the person. Europeans named jade from the Spanish piedra de la ijada, the stone of the flank, because many believed it eased pains of the side and the kidneys. Behind ijada lies Latin ilia, the flanks of the body. Giada reaches back through that word to an old medical hope shaped in Latin.
One Giada is known beyond Italy: Giada De Laurentiis, the chef born in Rome in 1970. In Poland the name stays rare. On an official form at the urząd it fits in five letters and means jadeit.
