Meaning & origin
Adis is a name recorded in the United States since 1917, with its highest usage in 2008. It has been on a downward trajectory since 2003, and it currently ranks outside the top 1000, with use too rare to calculate a 1-in-N rate. No states registered notable concentrations of the name, reflecting its broad but sparse distribution. The name's origins lie in Arabic or Bosnian traditions, where it likely functions as a short form or variant of more common names like Adil or Adnan. Parents drawn to short, unfamiliar names with multicultural roots may find Adis appealing, though its rarity means it carries little established cultural weight in English-speaking countries.
Adis is a name of uncertain etymology, likely derived as a short form of Arabic names such as Adil ('just, fair') or Adnan. It is also used in Bosnia and other Balkan regions, where it may have been adopted via Ottoman Turkish influence. The name has been recorded in the United States since 1917, with a notable peak in 2008.
