Meaning and origin of Jadore
Jadore is a French name that is usually said to mean “from French j'adore: I adore”.
Jadore comes from the French phrase j'adore, meaning I adore or I love. The phrase became a name partly through its use as the title of a well-known Dior perfume, which gave it a glamorous, fashion-world association. As a given name it is pronounced zhah-DOR in the French style, though some Americans say juh-DOR. Its meaning is affectionate and direct. Like Amour or Cherie, it borrows a French word of love and turns it into a name. Jada is one possible short form, though most families keep the full name.
