Adonijja is Hebrew in Origin.

Adonijja is a Scandinavian/Slavic-leaning form of Adonijah, from Hebrew Adoniyyahu/Adoniyah (אֲדֹנִיָּהוּ/אֲדֹנִיָּה), a theophoric name meaning “my lord is Yahweh” or “Yahweh is my lord” (from adon, “lord,” + the divine element -yahu/-yah). The spelling with double j reflects attempts to render the doubled yod (iyy) sound in Hebrew via j in Nordic and some Slavic orthographies. In the Hebrew Bible, Adonijah is a son of King David who unsuccessfully sought the throne before Solomon, giving the name strong scriptural resonance despite its rarity.

Usage has remained uncommon but recurs wherever Old Testament names are prized, including some Protestant traditions and communities influenced by biblical translations. Related forms include Adonijah (English), Adoniyahu/Adoniyah (Hebrew), Adonija (South Slavic and some Baltic contexts), Adonías (Spanish), Adonias (Portuguese), and Adoniáš (Czech/Slovak). The name is typically masculine; modern appearances are sporadic and often tied to religious heritage or literary interest.
