Adira

אַדִּירַה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: mighty, glorious, splendid
• The feminine form of Adir, this name shares the same meaning — “mighty” or “splendid.” 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. Adira feels powerful, lyrical, and quietly majestic.
