A commutative loop is Jordan if it satisfies the identity x 2 ( yx ) = ( x 2 y ) x . Using an amalgam construction and its generalizations, we prove that a nonassociative Jordan loop of order n exists if and only if n ≧ 6 and n ≠ 9. We also consider whether powers of elements in Jordan loops are well‐defined, and we construct an infinite family of finite simple nonassociative Jordan loops. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
