where does the name Adira come from?
From the Hebrew אַדִּירָה, the feminine form of adir, meaning mighty, majestic or noble. The root conveys grandeur and force together rather than either alone, and it is applied in biblical Hebrew to the sea, to kings and to God.
It appears in several biblical passages describing God's power and majesty. The name gained wider recognition through Star Trek: Discovery's Adira Tal. It projects feminine strength without aggression — a name that means exactly what it sounds like it means.
