Adalya is in Origin.

Adalya is a modern feminine name with layered roots across Hebrew, Germanic, and Mediterranean traditions. In a Hebrew frame, its -ya ending evokes the theophoric element “Yah,” placing it near Atalya/Ataliah (from Hebrew ‘Atalyahu, “Yahweh is exalted”). It also overlaps with Adalia, a biblical name borne by one of Haman’s sons in Esther; that form is likely of Persian origin and its meaning is uncertain. Separately, Adalya can be read as a contemporary elaboration of Ada/Adel-, linking it to the Germanic adal “noble,” the source of Adela, Adelia, and Adelaide.

Usage is recent and rare in English-speaking countries, with growing appeal in Israel and the Jewish diaspora, and occasional appearance in Spanish as Adalía. Historical echoes include Adalia as an old European name form and a medieval place-name for Antalya. Variants and relatives: Adalia, Adaliya, Adalía, Adelia, Atalya/Atalia.
