π About Adira
Adira is a Hebrew name derived from the root 'adir' (ΧΧΧΧ¨), meaning 'strong,' 'mighty,' or 'noble.' The masculine form Adir appears throughout the Hebrew Bible as an adjective describing God's power and majesty, while Adira emerged as the feminine counterpart. Though ancient in its linguistic roots, Adira has experienced a modern revival, particularly in the United States where it entered the top 1000 baby names in the 2020s, ranking around 710. The name gained wider cultural visibility through the character Adira Tal in Star Trek: Discovery (2020), one of the first non-binary characters in the franchise. Its combination of a soft, melodic sound with a meaning evoking strength and nobility has made it appealing to parents seeking names that are both elegant and empowering. Adira is also found in some Arabic-speaking communities, where it carries similar connotations of power and distinction.
