Addos is in Origin.

Addos is a rare cross-cultural given name with two credible etymological paths. In biblical tradition it reflects a Greek/Latin rendering (often written Addos/Addus) of Hebrew Iddo, a prophetic name in the Tanakh; Iddo is commonly interpreted as “appointed” or “timely.” The final -s echoes the Greek masculine nominative ending. In a separate stream, Addos aligns with medieval Germanic short forms of names beginning with Adal- (“noble”), a root behind Ada, Adso, and Adalbert, making “noble” another accepted meaning.

Usage is sporadically attested: in Septuagint/Vulgate lists as Addos/Addus and in medieval Germanic and Frisian records alongside Addo, Ado, and Atto. Modern appearance is very rare, typically chosen for its compact, antique feel. Related variants and cognates include Addo, Addus, Addous, Adso, Ado, Atto, and Iddo; diminutives such as Addy occur in English. Overall, Addos carries connotations of timeliness or nobility.
