Adaira
Meaning of Adaira
Adaira is a feminine given name rooted in the Scottish Gaelic surname Adair—derived from ath-daraich, “oak tree ford”—and carries connotations of resilience and transition. It is pronounced ah-DIE-rah (/aˈðjera/) in Spanish and uh-DARE-uh (/əˈdɛrə/) in English. Although it remains rare in the United States—hovering between the mid-700s and mid-900s in SSA rankings since the mid-1980s and accounting for nine births in 2024—Adaira’s blend of Celtic heritage and Latin-inflected vowels has made it an appealing, nature-inspired choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet accessible name.
