Adeena as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Adeena

What is the meaning of the name Adeena ?

The baby name Adeena is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced uh-DEE-nuh (IPA: /əˈdiːnə/).

Adeena is Arabic, Hebrew in Origin.

Adeena is a modern English transliteration of Hebrew Adina (עדינה), derived from the adjective ‘adin/’adina meaning “delicate, gentle, refined.” In the Hebrew Bible, Adina appears once as a male warrior among King David’s mighty men (1 Chronicles 11:42), but in later Jewish and Yiddish usage the name became firmly feminine. The doubling of the e in Adeena is a contemporary spelling to signal the long “ee” vowel in English.

Variants and related forms include Adina, Adena, Adinah, Adeenah, and Idina; Dina functions as a short form. The name gained wider use across Israel, Eastern Europe, and the Anglophone world in the 19th–20th centuries and today is chosen by families of many backgrounds. In South Asian and Muslim contexts, Adeena is sometimes reinterpreted via Arabic deen (“faith, religion”) and glossed as “pious,” though this is a modern association rather than the original Hebrew etymology.
