Adira

אַדִּירַה

• Gender: Female
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: mighty, glorious, splendid

• Adira is the feminine form of Adir, a Hebrew word meaning "mighty" and "splendid" that appears in the Bible to describe the awesome power of God. It is a name that hands a daughter a declaration of strength from day one. Where many names whisper, Adira speaks with quiet authority, carrying biblical resonance in a form that sounds strikingly modern.

  It sounds like a name designed for a protagonist — the lyrical beauty of Aurora and Amara but with a muscular meaning that gives it real backbone. Serena Williams chose it for her second daughter, which feels exactly right for a name meaning "mighty." For parents who want grace and power in equal measure, Adira is just starting to get the recognition it deserves.
