Adira as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Adira

What is the meaning of the name Adira ?

The baby name Adira is a Female name and is pronounced {'common': 'ah-DEE-rah', 'ipa': '/əˈdiːrə/'}.

Adira is Hebrew in Origin.

Adira is a Hebrew feminine name derived from the adjective adir, meaning “strong, mighty, noble.” The root ’‑d‑r appears throughout Biblical Hebrew, where adir describes power and majesty and serves as a poetic epithet for God; its plural adirim can mean “mighty ones” or “nobles.” As a given name, Adira carries connotations of steadfastness and dignity while remaining compact and modern in sound.

Use of Adira as a personal name is largely a 20th‑century development, gaining traction in Israel alongside other Hebrew virtue names and later spreading through Jewish diaspora communities and into broader English‑speaking usage. Common pronunciation is ah-DEER-uh. Variant spellings include Adeera and, more rarely, Adirah; the masculine counterpart is Adir. Nicknames such as Addie or Dira appear in English contexts. Related forms and thematic companions include Hebrew choices that emphasize strength and valor, but Adira remains a distinct, unequivocal statement of might and nobility.
