Addiyah is Arabic, English, Hebrew in Origin.

Addiyah is a modern feminine given name, most often a creative spelling of Adiyah/Adiah and ultimately linked to the Hebrew Adaiah, a biblical theophoric name combining adi 'ornament, adornment' with the divine element Yah. It is commonly interpreted as 'ornament of God' or 'Yahweh has adorned.' In the Hebrew Bible, several men named Adaiah appear in Chronicles and Nehemiah, giving the name deep scriptural roots; contemporary usage shifts it toward feminine in English-speaking and diaspora communities.

Variants include Adiyah, Adiya, Adiah, Adaiah, Addiya, and Adia; nicknames Addie and Dia. Some families also associate it with Sanskrit elements (Adi 'first, primal'), echoing Adya/Adhya and yielding an alternate sense of 'beginning,' though this is a separate etymology. The double-d spelling emphasizes the Addie sound and fits the modern -iyah style seen in Aaliyah and Maliyah. Addiyah remains uncommon but has gained visibility in 21st-century U.S. and U.K. records.
