Adom
Meaning of Adom
Adom is a bright, spirited name from the Akan people of Ghana, where it means “grace” or “divine favor.” It slips off the tongue in English as ah-DOHM, with a soft “uh” leading into a cheerful “dohm.” Though still rare in the United States—hovering around rank 917 in 2024 with just seven newborns—it’s held steady for years, like a hidden treasure quietly shining. Calling your son Adom is like wrapping him in a promise of kindness and blessing, a little spark of hope that traces back through generations of West African storytellers. This name moves fast, carries warmth, and whispers of good fortune every time it’s spoken.
