Adi

עֲדִי

• Gender: Unisex
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: jewel, ornament

• Adi comes from the Hebrew word for "jewel" or "ornament" and has been a perennial favorite in Israel for decades. It distills the idea of preciousness into just two bright syllables, communicating a child's worth in the most direct and beautiful way possible. Sometimes the simplest names carry the biggest meaning, and Adi is a perfect example.

  One of those rare names that is genuinely unisex, wildly popular in Israel, and still a fresh discovery for families abroad, Adi has the sleek, minimalist appeal of names like Kai or Zoe but with authentic Hebrew substance underneath. It is effortless to spell and pronounce in any language, travels beautifully across cultures, and never needs an explanation longer than one gorgeous word: jewel.
