What is the meaning of the name Gunadi ?

The baby name Gunadi is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ɡuˈnɑdi/ (GOO-NAH-dee).

Gunadi is Indonesian in Origin.

Gunadi blends two Sanskrit elements, guna ("virtue, quality") and adi ("excellent, foremost"), long naturalized in Indonesian and Javanese naming. The composite conveys "one of excellent virtues" or "exemplary in qualities." The name is traditionally masculine in Indonesia, though modern usage can be flexible. It appears both as a given name and, less commonly, as a hereditary family name.

Usage traces back to the Sanskrit-infused vocabulary of Old Javanese courts and has remained current through the Islamic and modern eras. The spelling Goenadi reflects the pre-1972 Dutch-influenced orthography. Related forms and variants include Adiguna/Adi Guna, Gunaadi, Gunadhi (a Sanskritized rendering), and the cognate Gunawan sharing the guna root. Common short forms are Guna and Adi. Overall, Gunadi signals moral character, capability, and respected standing.
