Adalliah is in Origin.

Adalliah is a modern ornamental elaboration that taps two streams: the Hebrew theophoric pattern -iah and the Germanic adal “noble.” It stands closest to Adalia/Adaliah (Hebrew Adalyah), a name recorded in the Book of Esther among Haman’s sons; in that context the meaning is debated, often read as “Yahweh is just” or “Yahweh is my refuge.” The doubled l is a contemporary stylistic choice, lending a flowing sound and marking it as feminine in English.

Usage is very rare, with sporadic appearances in recent birth records rather than continuous historical use. Variants and cognates include Adalia, Adaliah, Adaliyah, Adalya, Adalía, and Adelia; related names by element are Ada, Adela, and Adeline. Nicknames range from Addie and Ada to Lia/Liah. Parents often interpret Adalliah to mean “noble” (via Germanic adal) or “God is…” plus a virtue (via Hebrew -iah), yielding a layered, faith-tinged elegance.
