Adia

From East African plains to your family tree, Adia is a girl’s name that travels beautifully. This name has Swahili origins, but is also a derivative of the German name Ada. The name means “gift” in the former and “noble” in the latter. Thanks to this, it’s clear to see that either way, this little one is about to bring a big blessing to your life. The lyrical name rose to fame in the US in the late 90s thanks to the Sarah Mclaughlin song of the same name. The melody describes an innocence that carries from youth to adulthood, and can give this girl a gentle reminder that twists and turns in life are par for the course.
