Rodriguez's first career home run was hit as a 19-year-old on June 12, 1995, off the Royals' Tom Gordon, meaning that he has punished big league pitchers in his teens, twenties, thirties and now his forties. It's remarkable.
Jade /jade/ [1 syll.] as a girls' name (also used less widely as boys' name Jade) is of English origin, and the meaning of Jade is precious stone. Jewel name: the green gemstone which was believed to have the magical power of providing protection against disorders of the intestines.
The history of jade goes back several thousand years when jade was first used to make weapons and tools because of its toughness. The Mayans and Aztecs regarded jade highly and the name jade originates from the Spanish piedra de ijada, meaning stone for the pain in the side. It was named in this way after Spanish explorers saw natives of Central America holding pieces of jade to their sides, believing that it could cure ills.
