What is the meaning of the name Adlan ?

The baby name Adlan is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AD-lan (English: /ˈæd.lən/); Arabic approx. ‘adlān (ʿadˈlaːn).

Adlan is Arabic in Origin.

Adlan stems from the Arabic root 'adl, denoting justice, fairness, and right measure. As a given name it is a regional development of Adil/Adel, often interpreted as "just" or "uprightly fair"; the -an ending reflects vernacular phonology in several Muslim languages. Classical Arabic also uses 'adlan to mean "justly" or "two just witnesses," resonances that have kept the moral sense of the name vivid.

The name appears in Sudanese history with Funj sultans such as Adlan I and Adlan II of Sennar (17th century), and it remains well used in the North Caucasus (Chechen, Ingush) and the Malay world (Malaysia, Brunei), spread through Islamic learning and trade. Variants and cognates include Adlen/Adlene (Maghrebi), Adil and Adel; feminine forms include Adlina. Surnames like Adlani or Al-Adlani are related. Usual pronunciation: AD-lahn or ahd-LAHN.
