Addlay (ADD-lay) is a modern, rare given name likely shaped by two streams. One is Hebrew Adlai, a biblical name often interpreted as “God is just/justice of God.” The other is English Adley, from Old English elements ead “prosperity, wealth” + lēah “woodland clearing, meadow,” yielding senses like “prosperous meadow.” As such, Addlay carries layered meanings ranging from moral rightness to pastoral abundance.

Usage is recent and inventive, with no long independent history; it reads as a phonetic variant or embellished spelling alongside Adlai, Adley, Addley, Adleigh, and Adly. Notable bearers cluster around the related forms - Adlai Stevenson (two prominent American statesmen) bolstered the Hebrew line, while Adley survives as an English surname and modern given name. Nicknames include Addy and Ade. Contemporary parents treat Addlay as a unisex choice with familiar sounds but uncommon footprint.
