There are several theories about the origin of the name of jadeite. One theory is that it comes from the name of a bird. The feathers of this bird are very bright. The male's feathers are red, and it is called the jadeite bird (also known as the red-feathered bird). The female's feathers are green, and it is called the kingfisher (also known as the green-feathered bird). Together they are called jadeite. In the industry, there is a saying that jadeite is male and kingfisher is female. During the Ming Dynasty, after Burmese jade was introduced to China, it was named "jadeite".
