Meaning & History
Means "an eternity with God" in Hebrew, from עַד (ʿaḏ) "an eternity" and אֵל (ʾēl) "God, the supreme deity, esp. the supreme God of Israel".See also El'ad, which uses the same elements but in reverse order (cf. Nathanael and Elnathan for another Hebrew example of this phenomenon).This name is also used as a Yiddish form of ʿĂḏînāh, a modern feminization of Adina 1 (see 'Adinah). Many also see this name as a Hebrew equivalent of the Germanic name Adela, despite the two names being etymologically unrelated.
