Aday is Turkish in Origin.

Aday is a multicultural masculine given name with several independent origins. In Spain's Canary Islands it revives a Guanche (Berber-related) personal name preserved in post-conquest records; its precise meaning is lost, and modern use reflects heritage revival from the late 20th century. In Arabic contexts it can represent the name Uday/Oday, traditionally glossed "charging, assault; runner," a pre-Islamic tribal name borne into classical and modern Arabic. In Syriac Christian tradition, Aday also renders Addai, the Aramaic form associated with St. Thaddeus of Edessa.

Variants include Adai, Addai, Aday, Oday, Odai, and Uday; related forms Thaddeus and Tadeo appear in Greek- and Spanish-influenced settings. Usage today is most visible in Spain - especially the Canaries - Latin America, and among Arabic- or Syriac-speaking communities. Because of its layered roots, Aday may evoke either the brisk, energetic sense of Arabic Uday or a historical/saintly resonance, while the Guanche form remains semantically opaque.
