Nadia 1

Nadia Heninger is an American cryptographer, computer security expert, and computational number theorist at the University of California, San Diego.

Nadia is the name of one of the main characters from the anime Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water.

I always think of 2006 American Idol contestant and successful singer Nadia Turner when I hear this lovely name.

Nadia Comăneci is a Romanian former gymnast who, at the age of 14, became the first gymnast in Olympic history to be awarded the perfect score of 10.0 at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. She would eventually go on to receive six more perfect 10s in Montreal as well as three gold medals. Four years later, she won two gold medals at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. She won a total of nine Olympic medals and four World Championship medals during her career. Comăneci is one of the best-known gymnasts in the world and is credited with popularizing the sport around the world. In 2000, she was named as one of the Athletes of the 20th Century by the Laureus World Sports Academy. She has lived in the United States since 1989 and is married to American Olympic gold medalist Bart Conner.

Name of Nadia Petrova daughter of Katherine Pierce (Katerina Petrova) on the Vampire diaries.

Nadia Björlin (born 1980 in Newport, Rhode Island) is an American actress.

Nadia Boulanger, French composer and teacher who taught so many great 20th Century composers.

Does no one remember the foreign exchange student, Nadia, from the American Pie movies? It is an unfortunate association for such a pretty name.

In the series "Alias", Nadia Santos is the name of the main character's sister.

A very sweet name. Nadia Comaneci (Olympic gymnast) and Nadia Petrova (Tennis player) are famous bearers.

I pronounce it "NAH-di-ah" or "NAH-dyah". This is a pretty name, although I was introduced to it in a grim way; the legendary French singer, Edith Piaf, as a young woman in the Paris underworld, was acquainted with a gentle, naive girl named Nadia who was forced by her "lover" to become a prostitute and not long after drowned herself in the Seine. I still associate this name with the pretty, fair-haired, tragic ingenue that Piaf befriended.

The main female character of Isabel Allende's triology "The Memories of the Jaguar and the Eagle" is called Nadia Santos.

Nadia is the title of the 2nd book of the Heirs of Anton series by Susan K. Downs and Susan May Warren.

The name of my gymnastics heroine, Nadia Elena Comaneci. Her mother picked the name out after seeing a movie whose heroine was named Nadezhda.
