Ader is a rare given name that has appeared sporadically in the United States since the late 19th century. According to Social Security Administration data, the name was first recorded in 1889, with its peak year of usage in 1900. Ader has never ranked among the top 1000 names, reflecting its very low frequency. Its trajectory has been stable, meaning it has never gained widespread popularity. The name's origins are uncertain; it may be a variant of the Scottish surname Adair or a derivative of the Hebrew name Adar. Ader was recorded as a girl's name in the early decades, and it remains a gender-neutral but predominantly female name. Despite having no notable famous bearers, Ader offers a distinctive sound and a sense of rarity.
Ader is a rare given name of uncertain origin. It may be a transferred use of the Scottish surname Adair, which itself derives from the Gaelic 'adaire' meaning 'ford of the oaks' or 'spearman.'

Its use as a first name in the United States has been sporadic, with recorded instances since the late 19th century.
