Adeena, pronounced uh-DEE-nuh (/əˈdiːnə/), is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, derived from Adina and meaning “delicate” or “gentle,” with a subtle biblical association to a minor leader among King David’s warriors. First recorded in U.S. Social Security data in 1961 at rank 785, it reached its highest position of 769 in 1983 before stabilizing in the low 900s over the past two decades. In 2024, fifteen newborn girls were named Adeena, ranking it at 935 nationally—figures that mirror its average annual occurrence of around a dozen since 2015. These consistent yet modest statistics underscore Adeena’s appeal to parents seeking a name with classical roots and distinctive, niche character rather than mainstream ubiquity.
