The Story of Adaliah
Adaliah is a feminine elaboration of the Hebrew name Adalia, which appears in the Bible as the name of a son of Haman in the Book of Esther. The name is understood to mean God is my refuge or God is just. The feminine -iah ending, which mirrors names like Jeremiah and Obadiah, gives it a deeply scriptural resonance. Over time, Adaliah has been adopted as a beautiful, less common alternative to popular names like Adeline and Delilah.
