“Adyan” is a warm, rhythmic Arabic name for boys—pronounced ah-dee-AHN (/ædˈjɑn/)—that carries the uplifting meaning of “faiths” or “ways of life.” It conjures images of vibrant rangoli patterns weaving diverse colors into a single tapestry, reminding parents of unity in diversity. In India, many are drawn to its peppy beat, as joyous and inviting as the dhol drums at a festive wedding. Though still a rare gem in the U.S.—hovering around #900 with about two dozen little Adyans each year—its simple melody and universal spirit are winning hearts fast. With every syllable, Adyan whispers a promise of harmony, inspiring a child to grow into a bridge between communities and light up every room with quiet confidence.
