Meaning & origin
Adaia is a modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 2005, a relatively recent addition to the naming landscape. While its origins are not definitively established, it has experienced a gradual rise in use, reaching a peak rank in 2022. In the most recent year of data (2025), the name ranked 2,607th nationally, with a frequency of about 1 in every 24,353 births. Its geographic popularity is strongest in Massachusetts, Florida, and New York. Though similar in sound to the Hebrew name Adah and the Basque place name Aia, Adaia remains a distinctive choice that has carved out its own niche among parents seeking a fresh, melodic name for their daughters.
Adaia first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2005. Its exact derivation is unclear. It may be a creative spelling influenced by the Spanish name Adah (from Hebrew 'adornment') or by the Basque place name Aia, which means 'slope' or 'pasture'. The name has seen modest growth since its introduction.
