What does Adina (Donna) mean in Hebrew?

In modern Hebrew "adin(a)" translates "gentle, delicate". In the bible (Esra 2,15) you will find the masculine name ADIN(A). This is usually translated "delight"; the two words are related though, so the translation given on this site (click on ADINA) may also be correct. There is also a connection to "Eden" and the feminine name EDNA.
