- Nadya Tolokonnikova — Russian feminist punk activist and artist (born 1989), founding member of Pussy Riot; imprisoned for nearly two years (2012–2013) in a Russian penal colony after the group performed a 'punk prayer' protest against Vladimir Putin in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour; her imprisonment sparked international outcry; since her release she has continued as one of Russia's most prominent dissident voices and political activists.
- Nadia Comaneci — Romanian gymnast (born 1961), legendary bearer of the Nadia/Nadya name family; at the 1976 Montreal Olympics she became the first gymnast in Olympic history to be awarded a perfect score of 10.0 — a moment so unprecedented that the scoreboard could not display it and showed 1.00; she won three gold medals at those Games and is widely considered the greatest gymnast of the 20th century.
- Nadezhda Krupskaya — Russian revolutionary and educator (1869–1939), wife and closest comrade of Vladimir Lenin; a dedicated Bolshevik organiser in her own right, she managed Lenin’s correspondence in exile, was central to the revolutionary underground, and after the October Revolution shaped Soviet educational policy and the Soviet library system; her formal name Nadezhda gives the Nadya diminutive a powerful revolutionary historical context.
- Nadezhda (Hope) in Orthodox tradition — In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Nadezhda (Hope) is one of the three supreme theological virtues alongside Vera (Faith) and Lyubov (Love/Charity); Saints Vera, Nadezhda, and Lyubov are three sister martyrs venerated on September 17 in the Orthodox calendar; this theological tradition gives the diminutive Nadya a depth of meaning — a name of hope — that transcends its cheerful, everyday sound.
