Ades is Yoruba in Origin.

Ades has several independent roots. As an English surname later adopted as a given name, it comes from Ade - a medieval short form of Adam and of Germanic Adal- names - plus the patronymic -s, yielding senses tied to “man, earth” (Adam) or “noble” (adal). In West Africa, especially among Yoruba speakers, Ades also functions as a clipped pet form of compound Ade- names (Adesina, Adesola, Adeyemi, etc.), where ade means “crown, royalty,” giving the name a regal association.

Recorded in England from the 13th century as a hereditary surname, Ades appears as a modern first name from the late 20th century in Anglophone countries and the African diaspora, appreciated for its concise sound and cross-cultural meaning. Variants and related forms include Ade, Adès (French-influenced), Addes, Addis, and the cognate surnames Eades/Edes. Used for all genders, it often serves as a nickname for longer Ade- names.
