Adir
אַדִּיר
- Gender: Male
- Origin: Modern Hebrew
- Meaning: mighty, glorious, splendid
-
Adir means "mighty," "glorious," and "splendid" in Hebrew — a word used in the Bible to describe the awesome power of God during moments of profound awe. If you have ever sung Adir Hu at the Passover seder, you have already felt the weight this word carries. As a given name, it transforms that sweeping biblical grandeur into something intimate and personal, a bold declaration tucked inside a clean, modern sound.
It is short enough for a toddler to say and strong enough for a grown man to wear proudly. A name that literally means mighty and echoes through some of the most dramatic moments in Torah — picture it on a birth announcement and try not to smile.
