Adia

From the West and East African plains to your family tree, Adia is a girl’s name that travels beautifully. This name has Swahili origins, meaning “gift,” and is also found in Igede, meaning “queen.” As a form of Adea, Adia can stem from the Germanic Adelaide, meaning “noble,” and Latin Adeodatus, meaning “given by God.” It’s clear to see that either way, this little one is about to bring a big blessing to your life. The lyrical name gained some fame in the US, thanks to the Sarah McLachlan song of the same name. The melody describes an innocence that carries from youth to adulthood and can give your little treasure a gentle reminder that twists and turns in life are par for the course.
