Adenna is a modern feminine given name most plausibly derived from Adena/Adina. Through Hebrew Adina (עֲדִינָה), it conveys the sense of “delicate, gentle, refined,” a biblical epithet later adopted as a female name in Jewish and Eastern European communities. Some parents also read Adenna as a tailored feminine of Aidan (Irish Aodhán, “little fire”), blending softness with a spark; this dual etymology contributes to its contemporary appeal.

Documented usage of Adenna is very rare and largely Anglophone, with sightings in North America from the late 20th century onward; it has not ranked in the U.S. Top 1000. The doubled -nn- is an ornamental spelling that parallels Anna/Deanna and differentiates it from Adena. Related forms and near-variants include Adena, Adina, Adenah, Adinah, Denna, and Addena; nicknames span Addie, Ade, Dena, and Enna. The name’s gentle sound and cross-cultural resonances make it a distinctive yet familiar choice.
