The Story of Adira
Adira comes from the Hebrew root 'adir' (אַדִּיר), meaning mighty, noble, or powerful. The masculine form 'Adir' is used in Hebrew prayers and in the Passover Seder song 'Adir Hu' (He is Mighty), praising God's power. Adira is the feminine form, making it a name that carries resonances of divine strength and nobility. The name has been used in modern Israel alongside the revival of Hebrew names with the Zionist movement.
Adira has gained popularity in the United States and Israel as parents seek Hebrew names that sound both ancient and modern. It entered wider awareness through the animated series Trolls and is appealing to Jewish families seeking meaningful Hebrew girl names beyond the more common Rachel or Sarah.
In the Jewish Passover Seder, 'Adir Hu' (He is Mighty) is a beloved song sung toward the end of the ceremony, giving the root word 'adir' strong liturgical associations. The name thus carries connotations of both personal strength and divine power.
