Meaning & origin
Adonica is a rare and distinctive name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1948. It reached its peak popularity in 1975, during the 1970s, but has never entered the top 1,000 names, remaining a unique choice. Its usage has been stable in recent decades, with very few annual births. The name's similarity to Adonis and Dominica gives it a melodic, feminine sound. Parents drawn to uncommon names with a modern flair may find Adonica an appealing option.
The name Adonica appears to be a modern coinage, likely formed by combining the popular suffix '-ica' with the name Adonis, the Greek mythological figure, or as a variant of Dominica. It has seen sporadic use in the United States since the mid-20th century, with its highest recorded usage in the 1970s.
