What is the meaning of the name Adina ?

The baby name Adina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-DEE-nah (Hebrew: aˈdi.na; English: əˈdiːnə).

Adina is Hebrew in Origin.

Adina is a Hebrew given name from the root adin (עדין), meaning “delicate, gentle, refined.” It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a male name - Adina son of Shiza, one of King David’s warriors (1 Chronicles 11:42) - but later became established primarily as a feminine name in Jewish communities. In modern Hebrew it remains familiar and often shortens to Adi or Dina.

Outside Hebrew tradition, Adina circulated in Europe through literature and stage, most famously as the witty heroine of Donizetti’s 1832 opera L’elisir d’amore, which helped normalize it as a feminine form. Variants and spellings include Adinah and Adeena; Adine occurs in French/Scandinavian use, while Edina is a similar-sounding Hungarian/English name from different roots (Edith). The name’s core meaning centers on gentleness and refinement, with overtones of softness and grace - qualities that have sustained its steady, cross-cultural appeal.
