Adon is Hebrew, Semitic in Origin.

Adon is a masculine given name from the Northwest Semitic root ʾDN, meaning "lord" or "master." In Biblical Hebrew, adon functions as a title of respect and appears in the devotional form Adonai ("my Lord") as a reverential circumlocution for the divine name. The same root lies behind the Phoenician/Canaanite theonym often rendered by the Greeks as Adonis. As a standalone given name, Adon is a modern choice in English-speaking contexts; it is less common in Israel, where adon is the everyday honorific equivalent to "Mr."

Variants and related forms include Adonis (Greek-influenced), Italian Adone, and the rare Spanish/Portuguese Adón; closely related Hebrew theophoric names are Adonijah/Adoniya(h) ("my lord is Yah[weh]"), Adoniram ("my lord is exalted"), and Adonizedek ("lord of righteousness"). Across these forms the core meaning emphasizes authority and dignity, giving Adon a succinct, stately character.
