Adan

Meaning of Adan

Adan is a globetrotter of a name—born from the Hebrew “adamah,” meaning rich red earth, softened in Arabic, and then given a lively Spanish twist before hopping into English nurseries—so it carries the grounded wisdom of Adam but hums with a flamenco beat; he’s the boy who could recite a shloka at dawn, dribble a football at noon, and still help Nani plant marigolds before the evening aarti. Spoken as AH-dahn in English or ah-DAN in Spanish, Adan rolls off the tongue like a quick tabla riff, easy to say in any language and impossible to forget. Parents love that blend of ancient roots and modern swagger—no wonder his U.S. charts look like a cricket scorecard on a good day, steadily ticking upward year after year. Adan feels earthy yet adventurous, the kind of name that whispers, “Stay humble,” while winking, “Go big.”
