What is the meaning of the name Adil ?

The baby name Adil is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈɑːdɪl/ or /ɑːˈdiːl/; respelling: "AH-dil" or "ah-DEEL" (Arabic: ʿādil [ʕaːdil]).

Adil is Arabic in Origin.

Adil is an Arabic masculine name (ʿĀdil, عادل) from the triliteral root ʿ-D-L, denoting justice, balance, and right measure. It means "just," "fair," or "righteous," and echoes the Qur'anic virtue al-'adl. Transliterations and regional variants include Aadil (South Asia), Adel (common in Egypt and the Levant), and Adeel; feminine counterparts are Adila/Adilah and Adeela. In everyday use, Adil may shorten to Adi and sometimes appears as a surname.

The name appears across the Arab world, North and East Africa, Turkey, the Balkans, Iran, and the South Asian Muslim diaspora. Medieval rulers and scholars bore the epithet al-'Adil ("the Just"), most notably the Ayyubid sultan al-Adil I; in the Deccan, the Adil Shahi sultans popularized the element in regal names. Modern bearers keep it current in politics, arts, and sport. Stable yet understated, Adil conveys integrity and even-handed leadership.
