ArchivesRe: Adia
in reply to a message by Anastasia
Hi Anastasia,
This is what I found:
I) African (Swahili): "present of God"
II) Hindi: "born on Sunday"
III) Variant of Ada:
1) Short form of Old German names beginning with Adal- "noble"
2) Hebrew: "ornament" or "lightness"
3) Variant of Aida:
a) Greek: "Ethiopian"
b) Short form for Adelaida, variant of Old German Adelheid "noble" + "manner, fashion"
c) Latin: "helpful"
d) African (Swahili) "advantage"
4) English form of Old Norse Auda: "riches, wealth"
5) African (?): "first born"
6) Arabic: "performance of a duty"
7) African (Hausa): "custom"
That's all I found for now, but I'm sure there are more meanings for Adia and Ada!
Regards, Satu
