Adir

אַדִּיר

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: mighty, glorious, splendid
• Adir means “mighty” or “splendid,” and it’s a word used in the Bible to describe the power of God during moments of awe. One example comes from the Song at the Sea — a poem the Israelites sing after escaping Egypt through the parted waters. As the sea closes behind them, they sing, “They sank like lead in the majestic waters.” Later rabbinic texts link "adir" to beauty and holiness — something powerful, elevated and full of wonder. It’s a poetic name that carries real weight.
