Adeyah is Hebrew in Origin.
Adeyah is a modern feminine name with layered roots. As a spelling variant of the Hebrew biblical Adaiah/Adayah, it carries the theophoric sense "ornament of Yah" or "adorned by God." The opening element also echoes Yoruba Ade-, "crown, royalty," familiar from names like Adeyemi and Adeola, so many families hear connotations of nobility alongside the Hebrew spiritual meaning.
Usage is rare but growing in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, appearing in multicultural and diasporic communities and among parents drawn to lyrical -yah endings. Common variants include Adeya, Adiyah, Adaya, Adayah, Adaiah, and Adia; Adya in South Asia is sometimes associated by sound. Nicknames range from Ade and Deya to Dea. Overall meanings cluster around "adorned by God" and "crowned/royal."
