Adaliah is Hebrew in Origin.
Adaliah is a biblical-derived name. In Esther 9:8 the form Adalia (Hebrew Adalya) appears among Haman’s sons; the spelling with final -h reflects the common -iah ending that signals the divine element Yah. In later usage Adaliah often overlaps with Adaiah, a separate Hebrew name glossed as “Yahweh has adorned.” Because the Esther name is probably of Persian origin, its precise meaning remains uncertain.
In English-speaking history the name is rare: it appears sporadically among early Protestants and has seen a modest late 20th-century revival. Today it is chiefly feminine in use, though the biblical bearer was male. Variants and related forms include Adalia, Adalya, Adaiah, and Adaliya; short forms Addie and Dalia occur. Comparable -iah names are Azariah and Athaliah, reinforcing a gentle, devotional tone.
