Our story of Jadore
Our story of Jadore is a story of a phrase becoming a name. J'adore is ordinary French and a well-known perfume advertisement, and American families took it as a girls' given name in the 2000s, dropping the apostrophe. Behind the verb sits the Latin for speaking toward something, from the word for a mouth — adoration as address. The Latin is old; the name is two decades old, and both facts belong together.
Meaning
I adore
From the French j'adore, 'I adore', from the Latin adorare, 'to address' or 'to worship', built on ad and orare, 'to speak' — from os, oris, 'mouth'. The same root gives oral and oration. The run-together spelling is modern American.
